NESP MB Project A1 - Northern Australian hotspots for the recovery of threatened euryhaline species

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋生物多样性中心项目A1--“恢复受威胁的泛盐物种的北澳大利亚热点”的范围和研究成果。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> <br/> 在EPBC列出的受威胁鲨鱼和鲨鱼中，有一半以上是泛盐目的弹性鳍，其中澳大利亚北部对这一受威胁物种群落具有国家重要性。关键信息缺口依然存在，限制了恢复计划目标的实施。该项目将通过应用声学遥测、传统和高级分子研究(种群遗传学和近亲标记--重新捕获)、生活史研究以及土著知识和教育来填补许多数据空白。将向最终用户，主要是环境部、国家和领地渔业和野生动植物机构以及土著组织提供必要的信息，以改进管理和促进这些受威胁物种的恢复，重点放在三个主题上：(1)监测和了解泛盐物种；(2)管理泛盐物种的土著伙伴关系；以及(3)重新评估河鲨状况的知识。 <br/> 计划产量<br/> ·更新了对河鲨状况的评估<br/> ·与管理受威胁的泛盐碱物种有关的生态和现状手稿<br/> ·声学接收器阵列优化设计和估计死亡率的统计方法手稿<br/> ·土著社区受威胁海洋物种教育包<br/> ·围绕关键领域和参与活动发布媒体<br/> ·该项目的数据和信息产出将包括关键海洋物种的分布、发生程度和占用面积估计、关于关键物种分布和发生的土著知识、关于关键物种的死亡和存活数据、关于河鲨年龄确定的第一次数据(了解人口学的一个重要组成部分)、关于关键物种种群结构和种群连通性的分子数据、以及较低的种群规模估计。数据将存放在适当的可探索数据库中，并完全提供给能源部<br/> ·改进在新界和华盛顿州的生物重要区域(BIAS)的识别，以确定受到威胁的常盐类弹性鳃(使用已公布的生物信息学协议)

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project A1 - "Northern Australian hotspots for the recovery of threatened euryhaline species". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Euryhaline elasmobranchs represent over half of the EPBC-listed threatened sharks and rays, with northern Australia of national importance for this threatened species community. Critical information gaps remain, limiting the implementation of Recovery Plan objectives. This project will fill many data gaps through the application of acoustic telemetry, traditional and advanced molecular research (population genetics and close-kin mark-recapture), life history studies and Indigenous knowledge and education. End-users, primarily the Department of the Environment, state and territory fisheries and wildlife agencies, and Indigenous organisations, will be provided with information necessary to improve management and facilitate recovery of these threatened species, focusing on three themes: (1) Monitoring and understanding euryhaline species; (2) Indigenous partnerships for management of euryhaline species, and; (3) Knowledge for the reassessment of river shark status.<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • Updated assessment of river shark status<br /> • Manuscripts on ecology and status relevant to the management of threatened euryhaline species<br /> • Manuscripts on optimal design of acoustic receiver arrays and statistical methods for estimating mortality<br /> • Threatened marine species education package for Indigenous communities<br /> • Media releases around key field and engagement activities<br /> • Data and information outputs of this project will include distribution, extent of occurrence and area of occupancy estimates for key marine species, Indigenous knowledge on key species distribution and occurrence, mortality and survivorship data on key species, the first data on river shark age determination (an essential component of understanding demography), molecular data on population structure and population connectivity of key species, and lower population size estimate for Glyphis garricki. Data will be housed on appropriate explorable databases and made fully available to DOE<br /> • Refining the identification of biologically important areas (BIAs) within the NT and WA for threatened euryhaline elasmobranchs (using published BIA protocols)
