This study undertook ecosystem and population modelling to evaluate and provide advice on the reference points (e.g. biomass depletion levels) and settings (e.g. exploitation rates) for the four main target species in the harvest strategy of the Commonwealth Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF) – Jack...
Fishing mortality rates for the major targeted and byproduct species of sharks landed by the Queensland East Coast Inshore Fin Fish Fishery (ECIFFF) have been estimated. The effects of these fishing mortality rates on population persistence for these species have also been modelled with demographic...
