Sandfish (Holothuria scabra), a commercially important species of Sea Cucumber, are fished off the northern Australian coast. Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region, where they are commonly fished, they have been found to be particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation. Currently, as little is known about their biology and population structure, they are fished off the Northern Territory using conservative methods, by limited access, area restrictions based on an arbitrary line on the water and trigger limits based on historical data. With a view to improving their management and the sustainability of the fishery, a propagation and stock enhancement program is under development. Basic research including knowledge of the population genetic structure is required to enable informed decisions on the sustainable management of existing fisheries and to develop appropriate policies and strategies for the ranching program planned by Tasmanian Seafoods.
