Anthony Cheshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anthony Cheshire is a scientist, former public servant and former Chief Professor of SARDI Aquatic Sciences in South Australia (2000-2005). During his time in the role, his research work supported the development of the state's Southern bluefin tuna seacage aquaculture sector.[1][2] He also participated in various scientific discoveries, including the discovery of 8 new species of jellyfish collected from the Great Australian Bight[3] and other field research trips.[4]

Southern bluefin tuna research[]

A substantial proportion of Cheshire's research work focused on the environmental impacts of tuna farming in Spencer Gulf. Subjects included early investigations of the environmental effect of tuna seacages,[5] measurement and modeling of nitrogen loads,[6][7] sediment geochemistry,[8] developing a methodology for assessing seabed impacts,[9] nutrient influence on the seabed,[10] waste mitigation,[11] oxygen availability in sea cages,[12] net fouling communities and synthetic anti-fouling treatments,[13][14] and regional monitoring systems.[15] He also researched means of lowering the cost of environment assessments for the tuna aquaculture sector[16][17] and helped improve net designs to allow Great white sharks that enter sea-cages by leaping or biting their way in to be released without harm.[18][19][20]
