Distribution of benefits between commercial and recreational fishers from policies implemented to control fishing effort in commercial fisheries: An application to the Coffin Bay King George whiting fishery

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),...

Objectives

1. Quantify the variability in terms of community composition, abundance, metabolism and nutrient exchange, of the seafloor sediment beneath and adjacent sea cages on a number of spatial and temporal scales
2. Evaluate, on a pilot scale, whether harrowing, bacterial additives and surface sediment removal reduce the rate of seafloor scouring and therefore enhance the rate of recovery of seafloor sediments
3. Develop and refine cost effective techniques to quantify the rate of souring and recovery of seafloor sediments beneath and adjacent to sea cages
4. Develop a detailed R&D proposal for cost effectively evaluating the rate of souring and in particular, the recovery of the seafloor sediments associated with sea cages in aquaculture ventures thereby leading to improved management strategies and farm practices
