Dr Jo Randall, Dr Brien Roberts and Eliza Kimlin work with Northern Territory (NT) Fisheries at the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade. The NT Fisheries research team provides scientific advice on the status of aquatic resources in the NT. The team participates in a wide variety of research programs to collection this information and collaborates with regional, national and international partners.
In the seminar ‘NT Fisheries: Research to support biodiversity and sustainable management of fisheries resources in the Northern Territory’ the NT Fisheries team will present on major research projects and how they support the sustainable management of natural fish populations in NT waters. Following that, Eliza will also be speaking about the Australian Society for Fish Biology (ASFB), a society which promotes research, education and management of fish and fisheries in Australasia and provides a forum for the exchange of information.
Jo is a Senior Research Scientist with NT Fisheries, working predominantly in Coastal Line Fisheries. Formerly, she worked as postdoctoral researcher at RIEL investigating population dynamics and community structure in Black jewfish. Jo has a background in coastal ecology, macroalgal physiology, underwater acoustics and fisheries/aquaculture within Australia and internationally.
Brien is a Research Scientist with NT Fisheries, currently focusing on the Barramundi Fishery. Brien completed his PhD at RIEL, where he investigated the ecological and evolutionary drivers of migration patterns in Barramundi – including how hydrological connectivity between floodplains, rivers and estuaries mediates population dynamics and productivity.
Eliza is a Fisheries Manager with NT Fisheries, working on the Offshore Net and Line Fishery (ONLF) and Spanish Mackerel Fishery. She develops and implements policy to ensure that fisheries in the NT remain sustainable and meet objectives under the Fisheries Act as the governing legislation for fisheries management in the NT.
