Abstract
A Juvenile Dhufish Workshop was held at the Western Australian Fisheries and Marine Research Laboratories (WAFMRL) on 18th March 2010, which was the first component of a State Natural Resource Management (NRM) funded project entitled “Protecting Inshore and Demersal Finfish - Identification of Critical Habitats for Juvenile Dhufish”. The primary objective of the workshop was to provide a forum for discussion in order to compile all biological, ecological and anecdotal information on the early life history of dhufish, to create hypotheses of habitat requirements for juvenile dhufish and provide recommendations as to which sampling methods should be used to confirm the presence of juveniles at the identified habitats and locations.
