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),...

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.

Need

It is proposed that a national workshop is needed to: (1) explore options to improve the precision and cost-effectiveness of recreational fishing surveys; (2) consider the use of emerging technologies to support recreational fisheries science; and (3) identify engagement strategies.

Although all States are expected to benefit from the outcomes of the proposed workshop, South Australia is particularly reliant on the shared expertise, transfer of knowledge and advice regarding the execution of scientifically robust, routine recreational fishing surveys. The South Australian Government is committed to undertaking a recreational fishing survey every five years. All previous surveys have been carried out by interstate experts, however, there is a commitment by PIRSA/SARDI to develop recreational fisheries science capability at a sufficient level to undertake all future State-based surveys. It is expected that the workshop will establish South Australia’s role as an active participant in the national assessment of recreational fisheries, increase data harmonisation opportunities across the jurisdictions, and contribute in advancing recreational fisheries science.

Objectives

1. Identify options to improve the precision and cost-effectiveness of recreational fishing surveys
2. Identify strategies that positively engage the recreational sector in fisheries science and management.
3. Assess whether emerging surveillance technology can be feasibly integrated into future surveys.

Summary

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 Development Institute (SARDI). The key focus was advancing the ‘best practice’ approach in design, execution, and analysis of recreational fishing surveys as described in Georgeson et al. (2015; FRDC 2007-014). This project also builds on recent work by Griffiths et al. (2014; FRDC 2011-036) and Moore et al. (2015; FRDC 2012-022.20). The overarching aim of this workshop was to assess the usefulness of new technologies and techniques for enhancing the cost-effectiveness and reliability of recreational fishing surveys. The attendees included recreational fisheries scientists, managers, a national peak body representative, an international expert, representatives from Deckhand© and a Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) representative. 

The specific objectives of the workshop were to:

1. explore options to improve the precision and cost-effectiveness of recreational fishing surveys;

2. assess whether emerging technologies can be feasibly integrated into future surveys; and

3. identify strategies that positively engage the recreational sector in fisheries science and management.

Objectives

1. To quantify spatially and temporally recreational catch and effort for species of common interest to the recreational and commercial sectors
2. To use the information gained in 1 to resolve conflicts and implement equitable and rational management strategies
3. To disseminate the technical requiremnets for undertaking large scale surveys using the bus-route methodology to other researchers

A data management and reporting system and temporal and spatial analysis of historical catch records in the SA abalone fishery

Abalone stocks exist as a large number of metapopulations or sub-stocks each with peculiar growth and mortality characteristics. Hence different populations respond differently to exploitation through fishing. The sustainability of this fishery is linked to effective management of these...
