Objectives

1. Establish a working group to provide steerage and technical advice
2. Undertake a desk top study on shared management and its application for Australian fisheries. The study would provide a business case for the different types of shared management systems, and how they can be applied to different fisheries sectors. It is envisaged that this study would provide a guide to both adoption and future R&D investment.
3. Act as a steering committee for 2006/026 "development of co-management arrangements for Queensland - stage 1 picking the winners"
4. Provide advice on R&D priorities as they relate to co-management to the FRDC Board.

Summary

Fisheries co-management is an arrangement in which responsibilities and obligations for sustainable fisheries management are negotiated, shared and delegated between government, fishers, and other interest groups and stakeholders. This is the definition of fisheries co-management developed by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation’s national working group on the fisheries co-management initiative. It reflects the increasing recognition among fishers and fisheries managers alike of the need for a cultural change, away from an untrusting, often conflicted “them versus us” approach to one of partnership based on joint responsibility for decision-making and implementation in fisheries management.  This definition also encompasses the key factor of delegation of functions to fishers, which many other co-management models do not envisage.

Need

The importance of quantitative assessment and linkage between freshwater flows and ecological outcomes has been increasingly recognised in recent years. Information is particularly lacking for estuarine fisheries in Australia. The CLLAMM region supports a significant local economy based on irrigation/agriculture/tourism and commercial/recreational fisheries. The region also has a high biodiversity value, recognised by Ramsar wetland and Living Murray Icon Site status. However, the economy and biodiversity values of the region are currently under threat due to the reduction in flows from abstraction upstream. A number of environmental flow and engineering options are currently being considered to help improve the social, economic and environmental values of the system including ecologically sustainable fisheries. However, there is a lack of biophysical system knowledge required to assess and predict the potential environmental benefits of the different management options. Knowledge gaps include flow-related fish ecology-critical for water management to enhance spawning/recruitment of native fish (key objective of the Environmental Management Plan).

In recent years, state/commonwealth policies on fisheries management have been developed to ensure ecological sustainability of fisheries. The Lakes&Coorong Fishery management plan has identified flows as an important issue impacting key commercial/recreational species (mulloway, black bream, flounder, callop and Goolwa cockle). However, there is little research on specific flow/habitat requirements of these fish. This knowledge gap was identified on a recent National Estuarine-Flows-Workshop. Quantitative data is needed to inform sustainable management of fisheries and water resources.

This project is mainly to address flow-related ecology of key fish species of commercial/recreational/conservation or ecological significance (black bream, greenback flounder, yellow-eye mullet, congolli and goby sp.) in the Murray Estuary&Coorong, with a focus on reproductive biology and recruitment processes; whilst complementary work will be undertaken to investigate fish movement/migration by Bronwyn Gillander under CLLAMMecology. PI will work in collaboration with Bronwyn and other CLLAMM researchers.

Objectives

1. To determine the distribution, relative abundance and size/age structure of key fish species (black bream, greenback flounder, yellow-eye mullet, congolli and a goby species) and how these relate to habitat and environmental conditions (eg salinity, water temperature, freshwater flow, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, food availability) in the Murray Estuary and Coorong.
2. To examine aspects of reproductive biology and influence of environmental conditions on spawning success of key species in the region.
3. To investigate the influence of environmental conditions (eg habitat, salinity, water quality, food availability) on critical life stages thus recruitment success of key species.
4. To investigate the relationship between freshwater flows (timing, quantity and duration) and recruitment success and fisheries production of key commercial species.
