Development of an individual transferable catch quota model for the Coral Reef Fin Fish Fishery of the Great Barrier Reef

Fishing is the major extractive resource use on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), where the annual economic value of the commercial Coral Reef Fin Fish Fishery is about AU$60-100 million. Each year the commercial line sector harvests between 3000-4000 t from the multi-species reef line fishery, while...
