Sustainability indicators/ESD review
Ecologically sustainable development (ESD) has been accepted as the foundation for the management of natural resources in Australia since 1992, when the National Strategy for ESD was released. ESD was specifically identified as an objective of fisheries management in the 1991 Commonwealth Fisheries...

TAGS
1. To undertake a literature review of prawn trawl bycatch, and methods of estimating and monitoring bycatch of prawn trawl fisheries from published information to add to the already substantial literature database on bycatch reduction devices.
2. To develop cost-effective, accurate and feasible methods of describing and monitoring prawn trawl bycatch that would be acceptable to all stakeholders.
3. To compile a detailed description of the bycatch in the NPF and Torres Straits tiger and banana prawn fisheries and Queensland East Coast banana prawn fisheries to provide a reference against which future assessment can be made.
4. To measure the impact of prawn trawling on the sustainability of important vertebrate bycatch species, particularly those that may be vulnerable or endangered, and for those bycatch species for which no significant reductions can be achieved.
5. To assess the effects of prawn trawling on the biodiversity of key fish and other vertebrate communities.

Prawn trawl fisheries are under increasing public and legislative pressure to manage their bycatch sustainably. Although this is now explicit in the fisheries management acts and the new Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, there is little information on which to base sound management decisions. Bycatch cannot be managed without knowing what and how much is caught. This information is critical to determining the impact of trawling on the sustainability of bycatch species and its potential impact on biodiversity. Monitoring bycatch is also important as it provides vital baseline information for assessing changes in the catch rates of bycatch.
This project focused on these issues in the Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF), the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery (TSPF) and the Queensland Banana Prawn Fishery.

Definition of effective spawning stocks of commercial tiger prawns in the NPF and king prawns in the eastern king prawn fishery: behaviour of post-larval prawns
To effectively manage most fisheries, including penaeid prawn fisheries in northern and eastern Australia, it is important to know the relationship between the size of the spawning population and the number of young adults that recruit to a fishery in the next generation. In the tiger prawn fishery...
