Researchers studied how environmental factors and fishing practices affect the catch of brown tiger prawns in Moreton Bay, Australia. They used a model to estimate how easy it is to catch these prawns, considering factors like where fishing effort is focused and changes in fishing power. They found that targeted fishing for brown tiger prawns was more effective than non-targeted fishing. Changes in prawn behavior due to temperature also influenced the fishing success. The study discussed reasons for a recent decrease in fishing effort in this area.
