Objectives

1. Determine whether the Australian spanish mackerel resource, comprising four main species of the genus Scomberomorous, is exploited recreationally and commercially in three distinct areas of tropical Australia, in each of which the stock of each species is an autonomous stock
2. To determine if the species composition of the resource is the same in the 3 areas
3. To determine if the three unit stocks of search of the 3 smaller species differ as to growth rate, reproductive potential or survival rate under average environmental conditions or in consequence in composition as to sex age and size
4. To determine if the resultsobtained from Deuel surveys will be sufficient basis for allocating fishery access as between commercial and recreational fishers
5. To determine if the Deuel special survey method can yield a reliable estimate of the amount of the fishing for the small mackerels by commercial and recreational fishers in remote regions of northern Australia.

Summary

The small mackerels comprising school mackerel (Scomberomorus queenslandicus), spotted mackerel (S. munroi) and grey mackerel (S. semifasciatus) are important and valued species to recreational and commercial fishers in northern Australia. Prior to this project very little was known about the basic biology of, or fisheries for, small mackerels. Each species was found to exhibit distinct life history patterns with differing stock structures. Though there is some overlap between fisheries, there was much spatial and temporal separation of the fisheries, with gill net specialisation for each species targeted by the commercial fishery. Recreational hook and line fisheries for school mackerel and spotted mackerel were important with most of the grey mackerel harvest taken by the commercial sector.

Qualitative assessment of the potential impacts of seismic survey activity on Victorian managed fisheries of commercial and recreational importance

Need

Seismic surveys undertaken by the petroleum industry and the energy sector in offshore waters use high intensity airguns to characterise seabed petroleum resources and/or potential offshore energy installations. Seismic noise has been shown elsewhere to have adverse effects on marine biota including direct (e.g. injury) or indirect (e.g. behavioural) impacts. A review of relevant literature (including unpublished studies conducted in Victorian waters) is required to fully evaluate potential consequences of expanded seismic surveys. Such a review will provide a more robust basis for decision making by authorised planners consistent with a precautionary approach to development.

Objectives

1. Conduct a review of literature relevant to understanding potential impacts of marine seismic surveys on animals important to commercial and recreational fisheries.
2. Based on the literature review qualitatively assess the nature of likely impacts on marine biota for input to future risk assessments.
3. Make recommendations for future research so as to improve understanding of the nature of marine seismic surveys and consequences for commercial and recreational fisheries in Victoria.

Analysis of the microchemistry and stable isotopic composition of the otoliths of goldband snapper (Pristipomoides multidens) as an aid to the determination of stock structure

Measurement of stable isotope ratios of oxygen (18O:16O) and carbon (13C:12C) in the earstone (sagittal otolith) carbonate from assemblages of goldband snapper, Pristipomoides multidens, from waters off northern and western Australia revealed location-specific signatures and indicated that fish...
