The Year 11 Marine and Maritime Studies students spent some time at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) – Fisheries office at Hillarys Boat Harbour to learn about overfishing, fisheries management and the science involved. The students were able to dissect a fish, determine its sex and extract the otoliths. It was a great opportunity for the students to get a taste (and smell!) of what fisheries scientists actually do to ensure there will be fish for the future.
