Funded Activity Summary

Objectives:
1. To conduct an aerial survey for SBT over the Great Australian Bight each summer season from 1997 to 1999 and estimate various surface abundance indices.
2. To complete the statistical research required to (a) incorporate environmental variables into the estimates; (b) incorporate estimates of the proportion of SBT at the surface under various environmental conditions; (c) reduce the sampling error in the estimates due to uncertainty in school size and fish size estimates.
3. To complete an evaluation of the usefulness of the indices of SBT abundance derived from the aerial survey.
