Abstract
Kai Pacey investigated the biology, ecology, and management of corals targeted for commercial harvest in Australia. This work included analysis of harvest trends, description of novel quantification methodologies, and an initial population biomass modelling approach. This work represents a significant improvement in sustainable management capacity for aquarium coral harvest fisheries.
