November Meeting: Can sensory deterrents reduce shark and ray bycatch in Australia’s net fisheries
Advertisement
This will be a presentation of Emily Taljaard's findings from laboratory and field research investigating whether visual and electrosensory deterrents can reduce shark and ray interactions with net fisheries. Emily will also discuss her next steps to improve and test these technologies under real-world fishing conditions.
Emily is a final-year PhD Candidate within the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods (RIEL) at Charles Darwin University. She has broad research interests in sharks and rays and has worked on the biology of multiple species. Her PhD focuses on assessing and reducing shark and ray bycatch in commercial fisheries.
These monthly community engagement events are free and open to the members of the public. We hope to see you there. :)
