Understanding the movement, behaviour and post-release survival rates of Swordfish to sustainably develop a new large pelagic game fishery off the coast of Tasmania – a pilot study

While recreational fishers in Australia have targeted Swordfish in the past, both at night-time with shallow set baits and during the day with deep-set baits, success had been limited with only a few Swordfish reported landed. In 2014, adjacent to the coast of Tasmania an individual fisher had...

Since then, fishing effort has varied from 700 to 2600 boat-days per year and catches range from 200 to 1000 tonnes per year. Initially the JBG fishery developed as an alternative to fishing in...
