Objectives

1. Assess infomation needs for stock assessment of selected commonwealth fisheries
2. Assess current methods of data collection and validation methods
3. Assess cost and benefits of alternative data collection methods
4. Communicate benefits and costs in establishing effective fishery data collection schemes to both industry and managers so as to develop better collaboration wiht industry managers and users of the data

Need

Monitoring of remote small vessel fisheries in Australia is often difficult and always costly. Travel costs, observer wages, and operational inefficiencies and restrictions of small vessels in accommodating on-board observers are all factors which act to restrict monitoring coverage while still incurring a relatively high cost to industry. With the a growing need for accurate catch and effort data and the high costs and operational restrictions of using human observers there is a subsequent need to find a cost effective alternative that will not only improve coverage levels but also reduce costs.

Objectives

1. To determine if an electronic monitoring system is a feasible alternative to on board observers for species identification, and the quantification of discarded and retained weights in a remote fishery.
2. To determine the full range of costs and benefits of implementing an Electronic Monitoring System.
3. To compare the full range of cost and benefits of an electronic monitoring system with the full range of costs and benefits of on board observers.

Low cost management regimes for sustainable, small low-value fisheries based on coastal inshore species

This study provides a comprehensive, process-based guidance to developing low-cost management regimes for small-scale, low-value fisheries. The approach outlined is strongly “bottom-up” in that it seeks to identify pragmatic options and provide practical advice that specifically...

RAC WA: The application, needs, costs and benefits of Habitat Enhancement Structures in Western Australia and cost effective monitoring methods

Habitat Enhancement Structures (HES) developments are increasing in Australia and worldwide providing many benefits to the environment and different user groups. With this rapid growth there are still large knowledge gaps evident in relation to HES. This project investigated the application, needs,...

Objectives

1. To establish baseline data on chemical and physical characteristics of commercial feeds used by the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry
2. To establish baseline data on carcass composition of locally farmed Atlantic salmon
3. To determine the digestibility of current and potential feed ingredients for Tasmanian Atlantic salmon
4. To determine optimum protein to energy ratios for growth and food conversion for Tasmanian Atlantic salmonat different stages of the production cycle
5. To determine the effect of feed formulation and feeding regime on Tasmanian Atlantic salmon carcass composition
