Product-quality-based harvest strategies to increase profitability for greenlip Abalone
Scholarship Description
The objectives of the project are: 1. Document current knowledge and perceptions of spatial and temporal variation in greenlip abalone product quality characteristics; 2. Identify a suite of measures for industry-based indexing of greenlip abalone product quality traits; 3. Determine the range of variation, and associated scale of spatial and temporal variability, in greenlip abalone product quality characteristics from wild populations; 4. Model and evaluate the profitability, practicality and predictability of harvest strategies that maximise product quality attributes; and 5. Test effectiveness of current freezing technology using measures identified in Objective 2. The student will be enrolled at Flinders University, Adelaide, but the position will be based at the Lincoln Marine Science Centre, Port Lincoln, South Australia.
