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...

Comparing conventional ‘social-based’, and alternative output-based, management models for recreational finfish fisheries using Shark Bay pink snapper as a case study

This study has provided for the first time in Australia, an empirical comparison of different management models with a recreational marine finfish fishery. A TAC-based system was introduced for pink snapper in the inner gulfs of Shark Bay for the first time in 2003-2005, to explicitly manage...

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...

Biological and fisheries data for managing deep sea crabs in Western Australia

The crystal crab fishery on the west coast of Western Australia has only been commercially fished since the late 1990s. When this project was initiated in 2001, only compulsory monthly catch and effort data were being collected. This project has successfully set up the methods and means to collect...

Modelling to explore management strategies to optimise the value of the rock lobster fishery of Western Australia

The fishery for the western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus) is Western Australia’s most important single species fishery, and yields an average annual catch of 10,500 to 11,000 tonnes valued at between $200 and $300 million at the point of landing. With a high level of exploitation and a...
