Professor Kai Lorenzen is a world-leading expert on sustainable and responsible stock enhancement in fisheries. He has written and produced a computer simulation software package (“EnhanceFish”) that connects the biology and economics of stock enhancement. Professor Lorenzen has also undertaken a major policy review of the future of stock enhancement in marine fisheries, known as the “Responsible Approach”. These two tools are both being utilised by the Department of Fisheries Western Australia, the Western Australian wild abalone industry, and Tasmanian Seafoods Pty Ltd to progress their business and develop their current stock enhancement programs. During this project, Professor Lorenzen was able to work with government agencies, private companies and universities around Australia on various economically important fisheries that are developing stock enhancement and ranching practices. This work included presenting seminars, conducting “EnhanceFish” Master Classes, research collaboration and advising on fisheries enhancement policies.
