Linking habitat mapping with fisheries assessment in key commercial fishing grounds

The Tasmanian commercial fishery for blacklip abalone (Haliotis rubra) and greenlip abalone (H. laevigata) contributes a significant component of the total Australian abalone catch, with annual landings of around 2590 tonnes in 2003. The catch consists primarily of blacklip abalone (around...

Objectives

1. Describe life history and population parameters of the key commercial reef fish species.
2. Determine gillnet mesh selectivity for commercial (and by-catch) reef species.
3. Determine the size/age composition of banded morwong populations at different sites off the east coast of Tasmania with particular attention to the impact of differing levels of fishing pressure.
4. Determine patterns of movement for banded morwong, wrasse and bastard trumpeter.
5. Assess the level of by-catch and discarding in the inshore gillnet fishery.
6. Conduct yield per recruit analyses to determine appropriate legal size limits.
