Need

The existing FRDC-funded project "Study of ghost fishing in the NSW rock lobster fishery" (FRDC project 2007/038; Final report due November 2012) has demonstrated that lost lobster traps continue to catch and accumulate lobsters, resulting in morbidity/mortality. Traps may be lost due to cut-off of head-gear by commercial shipping or recreational vessels, through vandalism or interactions with marine creatures (e.g. cetaceans). Loss of traps and lobsters may also result from theft. One strategy for reducing the potential for cut-offs, ghost-fishing and theft that was examined in FRDC project 2007/038 was the use of acoustic release technology that would privide fishers with "at-call" access to sub-surface head-gear. The Desert Star ARC-1XD system was extensively tested and trialled in experiments that involved commercial fishing on the mid and outer continental shelf off NSW.

The 2 commercial fishers who were involved in these experiments (Mr Ron Firkin and Mr Scott Westley) were so impressed with the performance of the acoustic system and its potential advantages for their businesses that they have made substantial investments in the technology. Both have since successfully used the system for commercial fishing in its "portable" configuration (i.e. running off batteries but not integrated with their vessel's power system and onboard electronics). They have required and continue to require considerable assistance from NSW DPI staff to set-up, use the system and problem-solve. There is now an immediate need to encourage and support this intial phase of commercial use of the system by these pioneering fishers and to provide the infrastructure for the necessary training and support for fishers who elect to invest in this technology in the future.

Objectives

1. Install Desert Star ARC-1XD acoustic release system and integrate with on-board electronics on at least 3 vessels in the NSW lobster fishery
2. Provide training and support in the use and maintenance of the system for fishers who adopt this technology in 2012-13
3. Produce documentation (manuals, diagnostic & problem-solving tools) covering intallation, use and maintenance of the system
4. Broker changes/improvements to the acoustic release system's hardware, firmware and software with the manufacturer
5. Monitor the performance of acoustic release systems implemented in the NSW lobster fishery

Summary

Acoustic release systems were purchased by 3 fishing businesses but installation proceeded for only 2 of these businesses, on vessels fishing out of Sydney and Jervis Bay. Installation on the vessel Seeking, working out of Jervis Bay, was a permanent installation, with full integration with the vessels power supply and electronics (GPS-chart-plotter). The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

Summary

Acoustic release systems were purchased by 3 fishing businesses but installation proceeded for only 2 of these businesses, on vessels fishing out of Sydney and Jervis Bay. Installation on the vessel Seeking, working out of Jervis Bay, was a permanent installation, with full integration with the vessels power supply and electronics (GPS-chart-plotter). The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

Acoustic release systems were purchased by 3 fishing businesses but installation proceeded for only 2 of these businesses, on vessels fishing out of Sydney and Jervis Bay. Installation on the vessel Seeking, working out of Jervis Bay, was a permanent installation, with full integration with the vessels power supply and electronics (GPS-chart-plotter). The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.

The installation on the vessel Babs, operating out of Botany Bay Sydney, involved non-fixed (portable) components of the surface station and was not integrated with the vessel’s power supply or GPS-chart-plotter. Training and support was provided through meetings and discussions with the fishers in their homes, workshops, aboard their vessels in port and at sea when deploying and retrieving gear. An operations manual and user guide was developed to provide fishers with a guide to installation options, routine use, problem-solving and maintenance. After-market modifications were made to the ARC-1XDf release units to provide increased protection for key components from physical damage. Based on feedback regarding our specific requirements, the manufacturer made several modifications to system hardware, the firmware within the release units and the system control software.
