Understanding the factors contributing to decreased school prawn productivity in Camden Haven Estuary and associated lakes, to target ameliorative actions

New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) presents new information exploring the effect of catchment-derived stressors on Eastern School Prawn. Declines in School Prawn productivity over decadal time scales have been reported anecdotally across many estuaries in New South Wales, and...

Mesh selectivity in the NSW demersal trap fishery

The New South Wales demersal trap fishery is a complex, multi-species fishery. The most valuable species in the fishery is snapper, worth approximately half the value of the fishery, with bream, rubberlip morwong, ocean leatherjacket, silver trevally, sweep and pigfish accounting for a further...

Need

There is a growing need not only to assess recreational fisheries throughout Australia, but to undertake these assessments in a cost-effective manner and produce deliverables that management and the recreational fishing community can readily adopt. The National Recreational and Indigenous Fishing Survey was undertaken in 2000-2001, and since this survey, most fisheries agencies have been grappling with how to complete robust and cost-effective surveys within their jurisdiction. There is a strong need for greater collaboration among scientists, managers and stakeholders from the different jurisdictions, to review and critique existing and new methods so that future surveys produce better outcomes at lower costs.

ASFB workshops have been held each year since 1985. The 2008 ASFB workshop is an ideal and timely opportunity for researchers, managers, students and stakeholders to cooperatively critique and strategically develop a framework for testing methodologies and designing assessments of recreational fisheries throughout Australia.

Objectives

1. The broad objective of the workshop is to discuss and develop robust, cost-effective and comparative methodologies to assess recreational fisheries throughout Australia. Specific objectives include:
2. review existing approaches
3. critique new approaches
4. develop a framework for assessing recreational fisheries in Australia.

Assessment of the crab fisheries in New South Wales [also referred to as the Spanner Crab Project].

For this very new fishery, those aspects of the species' biology most relevant to its management and continued exploitation are its distributions, abundances and rates of growth. Unfortunately at the start of this project/ we knew none of this information for the NSW stock. As a first step I...

Improving and promoting fish-trawl selectivity in the Commonwealth Trawl Sector (CTS) and Great Australian Bight Trawl Sector (GABTS) of the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (SESSF)

This project sought to produce the first-ever review of technical options for improving fish-trawl selectivity around the planet and then use this information to address a deficit in experimental work quantifying the utility of industry-developed and new selective-gear modifications in the...
