SCRC: Measuring condition of lobsters to improve management of harvesting around periods of high transport mortality

This project provides the first comprehensive quantitative assessment of the health, physiological and nutritional condition of brindle and red lobsters from four different fishing areas of Tasmania at the start of the 2015 fishing season. Lobsters size (carapace length), baseline concentrations of...

Implementing a spatial assessment and decision process to improve fishery management outcomes using geo-referenced diver data

Fishing activity was captured across 53,852 one Hectare hex grid cells across Tasmania. A total of 113,164 diving hours were recorded across 125,536 individual fishing events (Table 1). Between 2012 and 2016, the Tasmanian Geo-Fishery Dependent Data (GFDD) program captured between 85 % and 90 % of...

Determining when and where to fish: Linking scallop spawning, settlement, size and condition to collaborative spatial harvest and industry in-season management strategies

Spatially explicit harvest strategies employed in the southeast Australian commercial scallop fisheries aim to buffer against recruitment variation to increase both production and continuity between seasons. As part of these harvest strategies, biomass surveys determine areas to be opened the...

Seafood CRC: economic management guidance for Australian abalone fisheries

Current Australian abalone fisheries management primarily uses biological and catch data to set total allowable catch limits (TACs). Performance targets are usually based on trends in catch rate or catch and aim to maintain these indicators within historic bounds that have prevented recruitment...
