Field trials to experimentally test if alternative sea lion excluder devices (SLEDs) adequately prevent Australian sea lions from entering rock lobster pots

This project tested the efficacy of two new sea lion excluder devices (SLEDs) in preventing entry of seals into southern rock lobster (Jasus edwardsii) pots designed by fishers from the South Australian Northern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (NZRLF). Since 1 November 2013, the use of a spike SLED has...

There have been many projects around the world that focused on establishing the scientific basis for an EAFM. A great deal of scientific knowledge has resulted, but practical EAFM is still not established in many locations. The integrated management approaches used in Australia are one of the first practical attempts at true EAFM (in fact moving beyond EAFM to broader ecosystem-based management, EBM). While EBM in Australia is evolving following an evidence-based approach it has relied heavily on a theoretical basis, supporting the development of world-leading modelling platforms. The greatest gap in the Australian approach has been a lack of long time series to explore the value of different data streams (both fisheries-based and fisheries-independent). The creation of IMOS is a positive step in this direction, but it will be a long time before it produces a time series of any significant length. Collaboration in the proposed MareFrame project would provide access to data sets stretching 50-100 years or more. Exploration of such extensive data sets, being able to selectively modify the quantity and quality of data, will allow for an investigation of Australian tools and modelling approaches. This will provide for new insights, identify strengths and weaknesses not evident from the shorter Australian time series and supply the means of designing Australian monitoring schemes that are most cost effective under the catch cost risk trade-off. For instance, it will detail the effect of model complexity and inherent level of detail on their performances in different roles (e.g. for tactical and strategic management); and provide a framework for the identification of ecosystem-based reference points that could be applied in Australia for evaluating the current status of marine ecosystems. Australian fisheries science would also benefit from the specialized optimisation routines that will be developed by the European fisheries assessment scientists based on the large data sets at their disposal.

Objectives

1. Update and extend Atlantis to deliver into decision support frameworks (as required by EU extensions)
2. Summarise lessons and tools from Mareframe for use in an Australian context

Summary

Between 2014 and 2018, a large European Union project – MareFrame (http://www.mareframe-fp7.org/) – was run with the intent of identifying and reducing impediments to the implementation of ecosystem approach to fisheries management. Australian researchers engaged with this effort, both to share our experience, but also to benefit from the lessons learnt in this far more data rich context. The MareFrame framework was as much process as technology and consists of:

  1. Co-creation process

  2. Ecosystem models

  3. Decision support tools (a dashboard and infographics for exploring and communicating management options)

  4. Educational resources

A significant number of decision support tools were developed over a set of 8 case studies (7 form the EU and one from New Zealand). Learning from those applications there are a number of processes and technologies that would be of direct benefit to ecosystem-based fisheries management if implemented in Australia.

Need

The Queensland Coral Fishery (QCF) operates within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It operates under quota within a Total Allowable Catch (TAC). Catch is recorded in two categories. “Specialty Coral” and “Other Coral”. Specialty Coral quota constrains the collection of CITES corals to sustainable levels.

Globally regarded as one of the best managed coral fisheries, social acceptability of wild-harvest aquarium fisheries constantly challenges the existence of the QCF. This challenge is partway met by ensuring catch reporting in the QCF sets global standards for accuracy and transparency. Major reforms introduced to catch reporting in 2016 for the QCF raise these standards further. The reporting reforms will underpin assessments of ecological risk and environmental performance, the CITES non-detriment finding, and to maintain national and international market access.

The new measures now require the reporting of total actual weights for CITES corals, however it does not account for the weight of substrate attached to the actual coral when collected, which is typically removed after landing. Industry successfully advocated that trimmed substrate should not be allocated to Specialty Coral quota and that 25% of the weight should be allocated to Other Coral. This allows the true value and accurate weight of Specialty Coral quota to be realized and the total weight accounted for in the TAC. However the 25% figure is based solely on industry experience and requires independent validation. To ensure reporting is both accurate and has potential application to other fisheries, validating the quantum of trimmed substrate is critical. This project will provide this validation.

It is important that the proportion of trimmed substrate is validated through an independent scientific study for the following reasons:

• Continued social acceptance of the QCF.
• Fisheries Queensland, and the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy require that the trimmed substrate proportion is based on independent scientific data.
• The proportion must be fairly applied to all QCF collectors for quota equity purposes (ie. it represents the current fishery and is not unfairly biased to any individual or region).

Objectives

1. Determine a statistically robust sample size
2. Determine the geographical pattern of port unloads in the Queensland Coral Fishery from the most recently completed quota year
3. Determine the proportion of samples to be undertaken in various ports such that the sample is representative of collection in the fishery
4. Determine the trimmed substrate percentage of the total weight of the Specialty Coral component of the unload, as it was reported to Fisheries Queensland
5. Determine the average percentage across all samples
6. Submit final report by 30 April 2017

Executive Summary: Catch reporting in the Queensland Coral Fishery (QCF) has recently undergone reforms to increase data resolution and accuracy for improved management of the fishery. Importantly, this study seeks to rigorously estimate that amount of non-living substrate that is removed from corals. Industry successfully advocated that trimmed substrate should not be allocated to Specialty Coral quota and that 25.0% of the weight should be allocated to Other Coral. This allows the true value and accurate weight of Specialty Coral quota to be realized and the total weight accounted for in the TAC. However the 25.0% figure is based solely on industry experience and requires independent validation.

Executive Summary: Catch reporting in the Queensland Coral Fishery (QCF) has recently undergone reforms to increase data resolution and accuracy for improved management of the fishery. Importantly, this study seeks to rigorously estimate that amount of non-living substrate that is removed from corals. Industry successfully advocated that trimmed substrate should not be allocated to Specialty Coral quota and that 25.0% of the weight should be allocated to Other Coral. This allows the true value and accurate weight of Specialty Coral quota to be realized and the total weight accounted for in the TAC. However the 25.0% figure is based solely on industry experience and requires independent validation.

IPA APFA: detection of pesticide impacts on larval prawns in hatcheries and presence in estuarine intake water

The use patterns of pesticides in Australia has changed over the last decade, with the use of pyrethroid and neonicotinoid insecticides increasing. The limited water quality data that is available has measured increased concentrations of the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid in...
