Fishery-independent survey of the breeding stock and migration of the western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus)

The fishery for western lobster (Panulirus cygnus) has supported an annual catch of about 10,500 tonnes per annum over the last twenty years and is worth between $200-300 million per annum. The fishery has been experiencing increasing exploitation rates over time and estimates in the early 1990s...

Summary

Of the eighteen species of Scomberomorus recognized by Collette and Russo (1979), the migratory behavior of only three species S. cavalla (king mackerel), S. maculatus (Spanish mackerel) and S. commerson (the narrow-barred Spanish mackerel) have been studied by tagging programmes. In these instances the programmes were preceded by studies of age, growth and reproduction which facilitated the analysis of tag return data.

This project was developed to specifically establish the extent of S. commerson migrations in Torres Strait and Gult of Carpentaria waters.
