Summary

During November and December 1983 and February to May 1984, the Commonwealth funded South Australian Deep Water Line Fishing Survey investigated the viability of droplining and trotlining on the continental slope off southeast Australia.

At present many south Australian fishermen rely heavily on rock lobster and the establishment of a trot/dropline fishery would provide a valuable alternative for this fishery, and could prove to be a substantial benefit to local fishermen.

In April 1983, the Minister for Primary Industry approved the expenditure of $83,500 from the Fishing Industry Research Trust Account towards a project aimed at providing an alternative fishery to the already established rock lobster and shark fisheries.

Assess new technologies and techniques that could improve the cost-effectiveness and robustness of recreational fishing surveys

Currently, the most significant gap in our knowledge in assessing the status of community-shared fisheries is determining the relative contribution by the recreational sector. To explore this issue, a two-day national workshop was held from 10-12 July 2018 at the South Australian Research and...

Summary

Recreational boat fishers using the Coffin Bay boat ramp between January and June 1990 were interviewed to obtain information on their fishing activities. Recreational boat fishing is an important activity in Coffin Bay. The majority of fishers targeted King George whiting (Sillaqinodes punctata), which accounted for over half the total catch. The average catch rate of King George whiting per angler hour was 1.25 fish. Information was obtained on the value fishers place on recreational fishing. These data were included in a simple model of the fishery to evaluate the economic benefits of changing the current allocation of fish between commercial and recreational fishers. The analysis indicates that it may be desirable to reduce recreational fishing and increase commercial fishing in Coffin Bay. Further research is required to verify this finding.

Spawning biomass of Jack Mackerel (Trachurus declivis) in the East sub-area of the Small Pelagic Fishery during summer 2019

Estimates of spawning biomass obtained using the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) are the primary biological performance indicator for quota species in the Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF). The objective of this study was to conduct ichthyoplankton and adult trawl surveys that underpin the DEPM in the...

Need

The primary focus of this project is to address recommendations by the Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH) aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the management arrangements for the South Australian Rock Lobster Fishery (SARLF), namely:

"PIRSA to pursue complementary management arrangements with other Australian jurisdictions responsible for managing southern rock lobster fisheries to ensure that all removals and other relevant impacts on the stock are properly accounted for in stock assessments."

This project also reponds to demands for increased levels of accuracy, efficiency and timeliness brought about by new reporting relationships and the managements needs of the fisheries. e.g ecological assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999); Threatened, Endangered and Protected Species reporting; management of the resources on a finer spatial scale; industry and environmental programs (e.g. Clean green); and the conduct of common research across jurisdictions and associated sharing of data.

Objectives

1. To address the recommendation provided to the fishery by DEH in relation to persuing complementary management arrangements with other Australian jurisdictions responsible for managing southern rock lobster fisheries
2. To provide a framework that aims to standardise the collection, storage and analyses of data across the major fishery jurisdictions
3. To provide a framework that aims to standardise fisheries model development across the major fishery jurisdictions
4. To review current biological and stock assessment data across States
