An industry based mark recapture program to provide stock assessment inputs for the Western Rock Lobster Fishery following introduction of quota management
The West Coast Lobster Managed Fishery (WCRLMF) moved from input to output controls in 2010. This change directly affected the relativity of a number of fisherybased data sources, making assessment of the fishery more problematic. A novel examination of the stock dynamics was required to help ensure...

Fishery-independent survey of the breeding stock and migration of the western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus)
The fishery for western lobster (Panulirus cygnus) has supported an annual catch of about 10,500 tonnes per annum over the last twenty years and is worth between $200-300 million per annum. The fishery has been experiencing increasing exploitation rates over time and estimates in the early 1990s...

Evaluating the potential use of change-in-ratio and index removal techniques for determining harvest rates and efficiency increases in the Western Rock Lobster Fishery
This project developed and explored methodology intended to enable the production of more reliable estimates of fishing efficiency increases and harvest rate, such that these estimates might be available for use by fisheries scientists, thereby improving the quality of the management decisions...

Mitigation measures to reduce entanglements of migrating whales with commercial fishing gear
This project provided a robust assessment that gear modifications introduced into the WCRLMF
and octopus fisheries have reduced the number of reported entanglements. The management
arrangements around the implementation of these modifications are appropriate in light on the
new spatial and temporal...

Investigating reproductive biology issues relevant to managing the western rock lobster brood stock
Increases in efficiency due to modem electronic equipment, improved fishing vessels and knowledge about the grounds and lobster behaviour, have all led to western rock lobster fishers becoming more efficient at catching western rock lobsters in Western Australia. One of the outcomes of these...
