Management and monitoring of fish spawning aggregations within the West Coast Bio-region of Western Australia
Many strategies have evolved among fishes to maximise spawning success. One of the most striking of these is aggregation spawning, in which individuals group together, often at predictable times and locations in order to reproduce (cf. a school, which refers to a group of non-spawning fish)....

Previous changes in fisheries management have had significant socio-economic impacts on Queensland fisheries (and likely on local seafood supply). E.g. the implementation of the RAP and GBRCMP implemented by the GBRMPA and EPA respectively in 2004 has resulted in over $80 million compensation being paid to fishers and related businesses to date. A more accurate measure of the extent of socio-economic impacts of the RAP is unavailable, however, due to the lack of established methodologies to monitor such changes, and lack of baseline socio-economic data prior to implementation of the RAP.
Management changes are planned for the near future for Queensland’s inshore fisheries in the form of a new ECIFF Management Plan, potential regional-based management (e.g. area closures), and a management plan for mud crab. Relevant fisheries stakeholders (QSIA and Sunfish) and managers (DPI&F) have expressed the need to collect baseline data prior to management change and to develop and implement methodologies that will allow monitoring of socio-economic changes following the implementation of these management initiatives. Such a methodology will involve selecting appropriate indicators of the socio-economic environment and the collection of baseline data outlining the current socio-economic trends for the recreational, charter and commercial inshore fisheries and seafood consumers. In addition, efficient methodology with which to undertake long-term monitoring of the appropriate socio-economic indicators needs to be determined. This research is also needed if appropriate and useful socio-economic indicators are to be included in a PMS for the inshore fishery. The proposed project will fulfil these needs, allowing the effects of changes in inshore fisheries management to be assessed in the future. Provision of baseline data will also assist in the implementation of any future management change, such as regional-based management and management plans for the mud crab fishery (which is not included in the ECIFF Management Plan).
1. Develop a set of socio-economic indicators that are appropriate to monitor over time for Queensland s east coast inshore fisheries stakeholders (i.e. recreational, charter and commercial fishers and seafood consumers)
2. Collect baseline socio-economic data for Queensland s east coast inshore fisheries stakeholders (i.e. recreational, charter and commercial fishers and seafood consumers)
3. Develop, in cooperation with fishers and managers, a practical and cost-effective socio-economic indicators monitoring system that can be used to measure and assess change in the socio-economic status of the inshore fisheries on Queensland s east coast

During the past three years there has been an increasing interest in and understanding among licensee Associations of the role that environmental performance is playing in the future viability of wild catch fisheries in the Northern Territory.
There are now 8 Associations/Licencee Groups that want to develop Codes of Practice for their fisheries and at least 3 wish to progress to full environmental management systems at this stage, with more considering this.
With the predominantly negative media coverage of the fishing industry in the Northern Territory, the realization of these initiatives by industry will go a significant way towards changing its image within major sections of the community. At the same time, it will facilitate industry’s wish to ensure that it continues to sustainably harvest product as the industry further develops. The initiatives are in line with the strategic management directions of the NT Government.
The difficulty facing industry is that the Seafood Council, which administers all the Associations, does not have the staff to adequately assist these developments. The Seafood Council strongly believes that the relatively small investments over two years to fund a dedicated person to drive the developments at a detailed practical level will pay dividends worth many times the investments for industry, the Northern Territory community and the aquatic resources and ecosystems in waters adjacent to the Northern Territory.
1. To develop and implement comprehensive Codes of Practice in the: NT Shark fisheryNT Spanish Mackerel fisheryNT Coastal Net fisheryNT Coastal Line fisheryNT Demersal fisheryNT Timor Reef fisheryNT Trepang fisheryNT Aquarium fishery.
2. To develop full Environmental Management Systems for the:NT Shark fisheryNT Spanish Mackerel fisheryNT Timor Reef fishery
3. To facilitate the development of a comprehensive communications strategy within industry and between industry and the wider community in regard to the benefits flowing from these initiatives.
4. To assist in engendering at the grass roots level within industry, a culture of continual improvement in environmental performance and maximization of product quality and value.
5. To assist in the review of the existing NT Crab Fishery Code of Practice.
