D’Entrecasteaux Channel (TAS, 2003-2006)

D’Entrecasteaux Channel Studies

The physics and biogeochemistry of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and Huon estuary in south-east Tasmania were studied to assist industry and state regulators in managing the expanding salon aquaculture industry in the region. Phase I and II of these projects were conducted within the Aquafin CRC (https://coastalresearch.csiro.au/?q=node/172) Environment sub-program; an overview of which is found in:

Volkman, J. K. , Parslow, J. S., Thompson, P. A, Herzfeld, M., Wild-Allen, K., Blackburn, S. I., Crawford, C., Bonham, P., Holdsworth, D. G., Sakov, P. V., Andrewartha, J. R., Revill, A.T. (2005) System-wide environmental issues for sustainable salmonid aquaculture: interim report. Aquafin CRC project 4.2 (FRDC project No. 2001/097).

The hydrodynamic component is described in an appendix to the above study;
