Key nursery areas within the Gulf of St. Vincent were monitored between October 1989 and June 1996. It was determined that the best sampling technique was the use of a fully enclosed jet net. A mean index of abundance calculated from these trawls was used to estimate the relative abundance in the area sampled. No particular trend in post larval settlement patterns and juvenile abundance was obvious. A longer time frame may be required to observe significant changes in this species. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Environmental Biology, 1999
