FishPath: Tailoring Management to Context in Data-Limited Fisheries

Fisheries are increasingly managed with involvement of fishers and other stakeholders. Stakeholders are especially critical where managers lack full knowledge of the system to be managed, resources to gather additional information, and/or resources to monitor and enforce compliance. Such...

Need

It has been widely recognised that Australia needs to adopt a more coordinated, cross-jurisdictional approach to allow for more efficient and effective research and development. The jurisdictions across Northern Australia (NT, Qld and WA) would benefit from this approach as they often share tropical wild stocks, research priorities and occupy similar markets. Collaboration amongst these jurisdictions would deliver better science outcomes by consolidating capability, coordinating the development of new capability, improving networks and stimulating innovation. Social and economic benefits would be realised through more effective resource management and each jurisdiction’s ability to attract investment in business, infrastructure and research would be strengthened. Apart from setting in place a shared vision of tropical fisheries and aquaculture R&D a partnership would facilitate a coordinated approach to significant social R&D.

This proposal directly addresses the National RD&E Strategy for Fishing and Aquaculture that aims to improve the focus, efficiency and effectiveness of RD&E by adopting a more national and co-ordinated approach.

Objectives

1. Facilitate the establishment of a formal partnership that steers tropical fisheries and aquaculture research in Northern Australia
2. Align capabilities and further capacity building activities with the needs of the region
and
3. Develop a clear Strategic Research and Development Plan for Tropical Northern Australia.

Stock structure of northern and western Australian Spanish mackerel

Decisions about the allocation of management responsibilities for fisheries for narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus commerson, as well as on-going stock assessments, require an understanding of the spatial relationships of the species. We used a suite of methods, isotope ratios in...
