FRDC-DCCEE: preparing fisheries for climate change: identifying adaptation options for four key fisheries in South Eastern Australia

Over the next century, the marine ecosystems of south-eastern Australia are expected to exhibit some of the largest climate-driven changes in the Southern Hemisphere. The effects of these changes on communities and businesses will depend, in part, on how well fishing industries and resource managers...

Implementation of dynamic reference points and harvest strategies to account for environmentally-driven changes in productivity in Australian fisheries

The need to adapt stock assessment methods and harvest strategies to explicitly and justifiably account for shifts in productivity has been recognised by the AFMA Resource Assessment Group for the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (SESSF), not least as a result of clearly evident...

Need

In July 2006, the Great Australian Bight Industry Association (GABIA) discussed the need for further research to assess the stock structure of blue grenadier between the GAB and other fisheries, particularly the West Tasmanian region of the CTF. With total allowable catches for blue grenadier in the CTF under review, GABIA commented that it is very important for both the Great Australian Bight Trawl Fishery (GABTF) operators and management (AFMA) to better understand grenadier stock structure. GABIA suggested that assessing the stock structure of blue grenadier was one of the highest of priorities if it was going to be robust and likely to show differences if they exist. This view was taken too and noted by GABMAC. AFMA also support the need for this research - determining the stock structure of blue grenadier is a very high priority for management, and results of this project (whatever they are) will influence the management of blue grenadier in the GABTF, with the two most likely options being a global TAC apportioned between the GABTF and SETF or separate management of stocks in each zone. In short, both industry and management support the need for research to assess the stock structure of blue grenadier between the Great Australian Bite and Commonwealth trawl fisheries.

Objectives

1. Use stable isotope and elemental otolith chemistry to assess stock structure of blue grenadier across the GABTF and CTF

SESSF Monitoring and Assessment – Strategic Review

The Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (SESSF) is a multi-species, multi-gear, multijurisdictional Commonwealth fishery. It is a fishery of substantial economic and social importance to Australia, as a key provider of high quality fish products to Australian markets. More than 600...

Development of a sustainable industry-based observation system for blue grenadier at the primary spawning sites

Blue grenadier has the highest current TAC among SEF species and has two separate fisheries that target primarily either sub-adult fish year-round or mature adults in winter spawning aggregations. The sustainability of the fishery would be greatly enhanced with regular (sustained) monitoring of...
