TLDR
In this paper, about 4000 barramundi were tagged in the four major river systems in Van Diemen Gulf in 1977/1978 to determine migration patterns and exchanges of fish between rivers, and to estimate fishing mortality.About:

Consequences of ecological connectivity: the coastal ecosystem mosaic
TL;DR: Considering connectivity as a multifaceted process leads to specific hypotheses about the functioning of the CEM and similar ecosystem complexes, ranging from estuarine dependence and metapopulation dynamics to foraging arena theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freshwater-flow requirements of estuarine fisheries in tropical Australia: a review of the state of knowledge and application of a suggested approach
TL;DR: A framework that integrates life-history information and correlative analyses is suggested to assist in understanding the freshwater-flow requirements of estuarine fisheries, and is illustrated through its application to identifying key freshwater- flow events likely to be important for fisheries production in a dry tropical estuary in Queensland, Australia.

Fish mediate high food web connectivity in the lower reaches of a tropical floodplain river.
Timothy D. Jardine,Bradley James Pusey,Stephen K. Hamilton,Neil E. Pettit,Peter Davies,Michael M. Douglas,Vivian Sinnamon,Ian A. Halliday,Stuart E. Bunn +8 more
TL;DR: The importance of the floodplain in supporting the production of large fishes in spite of the episodic nature and relatively short duration of inundation compared to large river floodplains of humid tropical regions is highlighted and the high degree of food web connectivity mediated by mobile fish in this system in the absence of human modification is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does the quantity and timing of fresh water flowing into a dry tropical estuary affect year-class strength of barramundi (Lates calcarifer)?
TL;DR: The present study compares the relative strength of year classes in an estuarine fish population with two indices of fresh water flowing into the estuary, river flow and coastal rainfall to explore the relationships between year-class strength and environmental variables.

The effect of habitat and environmental history on otolith chemistry of barramundi Lates calcarifer in estuarine populations of a regulated tropical river
David A. Milton,Ian A. Halliday,Michelle J. Sellin,Richard Marsh,Jonathan Staunton-Smith,Jon Woodhead +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that both individual movement history within the estuary and the scale of environmental monitoring were reducing the ability to detect any patterns in relationships between these variables in the majority of fish.

TL;DR: The population size of fish stock fluctuates every year, the amount of fish, so it is necessary to study the population dynamics of the stocks under the current exploitation regime.

Natural sex inversion in the Giant Perch (Lates calcarifer)
TL;DR: A detailed examination of the sexuality of L. calcarifer led to the conclusion that it was a protandrous hermaphrodite, which requires a complete reorganization of gonad structure as well as function to undergo inversion of sex.

Spawning and early life history of burramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), in Papua New Guinea
TL;DR: L. calcarifer in western Papua is catadromous, undertaking substantial migrations to specific spawning grounds and possible spawning stimuli are discussed, and the eggs, larvae and juveniles are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturity and sexuality in Barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), in the Northern Territory and south-eastern Gulf of Carpentaria
TL;DR: The histological events associated with gonad maturation in male and female L. calcarifer are described and the process of sex inversion is presented, both processes being related to age rather than to size.

Migration patterns of barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), in Papua New Guinea
R Moore,LF Reynold +1 more
TL;DR: Prevailing climatic conditions appear to affect the magnitude of this migration as not all of the adult fish migrate to coastal waters every year.
