Objectives

1. To describe those aspects of the biology of the major commercial (or potentially commercial) trawl fish species in the Gulf of Carpentaria that are relevant to establishing a sustainable fishery, calculating TAC's and implementing a suitable management plan.
2. To determine the degree of coupling between the commercially important fish species and the benthos, with particular emphasis on important benthic prey species, and epibenthic structure.
