Program 1: Regioanl Environmental Status

PROJECT 1.2: HYDRODYNAMICS AND DISPERSAL

(Dr L Bode, JCU)

The Centre provided support for joint AIMS and JCU oceanographic deployments, hydrodynamic modelling, and larval fish dispersal studies. Major AIMS outputs achieved with CRC support were a well calibrated hindcast record of longshore currents over the period 1975-1990, and sorting and analysis of larval fish collections caught in a cross-GBR series of traps. The JCU hydrodynamic models particle tracking models were improved with a view to predicting the sources and sinks of larval fish of known planktonic durations.
