Spatial management of reef fisheries and ecosystems: understanding the importance of movement

Fisheries managers have used spatial management of fish stocks for many years (e.g. nursery areas, spawning area closure), however, with our expanding knowledge of the biology of certain target species there has been a rapid resurgence in interest in spatial management (Smith et al. 2003). Much of...

Assessment of the implications of target fishing on black jewfish (Protonibea diacanthus) aggregations in the Northern Territory

The sustainability of fishing black jewfish (Protonibea diacanthus) aggregations in the Northern Territory (NT) has been identified by all major stakeholder groups as of highest priority and ranked as the NT’s most concerning fishery issue. (Amateur Fishermen's Association of the Northern Territory...

Developing integrated performance measures for spatial management of marine systems

There is increasing emphasis on reporting on the ecological sustainability within management regimes for marine systems, including integration with the reporting on the management of MPAs and fisheries. This is a world-wide issue, including in Australia, to ensure previously divergent biodiversity...

ESD Reporting and Assessment Subprogram: strategic planning, project management and adoption

Achieving Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) requires the integration of short and long-term economic, social and environmental effects in all decision making. This has, until recently, been a difficult task to implement in a practical way. Significant progress has, however, been made in...

Improving demonstrated environmental accountability in the Northern Territory fishing industry

During the past three years in particular, the levels of impact on the environment of professional fishing practices have become a significant factor in the on-going debate within the general community about the future of the professional industry. At the same time, the concept of ecosystem based...

Towards integrated multi-species management of Australia's SE reef fisheries: A Tasmanian example

Inshore reef ecosystems support Tasmania’s most important fisheries, valued at approximately $150million in 2001 (ABARE 2002). Management of these fisheries has traditionally been species based, however, there is a growing demand for more integrated management with clear consideration of the...

Towards optimising the spatial scale of abalone fishery management

Most abalone fisheries around the world are managed over large spatial scales (100-1000s km), despite the disaggregate structure of abalone stocks (Slucanowski 1984), the considerable spatial variation in biological parameters (McShane 1995) and the likely limited dispersal of abalone larvae (Nash...
