The snapper, Chrysophrys auratus, is an economically valuable common property resource that occurs in large numbers in New South Wales waters. Allegations of a resource decline in this major target species of both commercial and recreational fishermen have led to conflict over fishing access and levels of exploitation. In order to investigate claims of a resource decline, the Fishing Industry Research and Development Council funded a three year research project by New South Wales Agriculture and Fisheries.
