Assessment of the crab fisheries in New South Wales [also referred to as the Spanner Crab Project].

For this very new fishery, those aspects of the species' biology most relevant to its management and continued exploitation are its distributions, abundances and rates of growth. Unfortunately at the start of this project/ we knew none of this information for the NSW stock. As a first step I...

Assessing the effectiveness of the Southern Bluefin Tuna management scheme and its effect on those involved in the industry at the time of its introduction

Individual transferable catch quotas (ITQs) were allocated to fishermen in the Australian southern bluefin tuna fishery in 1984. The profitability of the industry increased substantially as a result. This is despite the total Australian catch being halved between 1984 and 1987 due to a decline in...

The fisheries and biology of snapper, Chrysophrys auratus, in New South Wales

The snapper, Chrysophrys auratus, is an economically valuable common property resource that occurs in large numbers in New South Wales waters. Allegations of a resource decline in this major target species of both commercial and recreational fishermen have led to conflict over fishing access and...

Assessment of Queensland inshore net fisheries

Most of the world’s marine fish harvest still comes from coastal waters despite the rapid development of distant water fishing fleets (McHugh, 1967). Fish yields from estuaries and lagoons are generally high, due to factors including shallowness, inflow of nutrients from rivers, and the...

Putting potential environmental risk of Australia's trawl fisheries in landscape perspective: exposure of seabed assemblages to trawling, and inclusion in closures and reserves

This project implemented the first national spatial approach to quantifying the exposure of mapped seabed assemblages to the footprints of all demersal trawl fisheries that operate on the mainland continental shelf and slope of Australia, as well as their spatial protection in areas permanently...
