Fishing and aquaculture research
As a science-based organisation, scientific research underpins all of NSW DPI's fisheries resource management strategies.
Key research
In recognition of the diverse range of fishing and aquaculture environments that the State's primary industries works within, NSW DPI has fisheries scientific units in:
Funding
- John Holliday Student Conservation Award
- Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) funding
Partnerships and alliances
Our scientists develop linkages with stakeholders to identify and prioritise areas of research and develop partnerships with other research providers, e.g. universities, other government departments, the CSIRO and funding agencies like the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation and Environment Australia.
Strategic priorities
NSW DPI's fisheries has research priorities and strategic research planning outlined in these documents.
