SPECIES
The recreational and commercial components of the blue swimmer crab fishery need to be managed jointly to ensure that the total catch is sustainable. The proposed research will provide important catch and effort information on the recreational sector by season and location. Data is not available for the Peel-Harvey Estuary and Swan River recreational fisheries and this study is required to address this shortfall.
