SPECIES
1. Provide fishery-independent estimates of the relative abundances of spanner crabs in NSW.
2. Use the estimates obtained in (1) with similar estimates obtained in 1988-89 to analyse trends in relative abundances.
3. Incorporate the information collected in (2) with existing data on the biology and fishery of spanner crabs to develop a population model for this fishery.
4. Use the model developed in (3) to provide appropriate advice to fisheries managers and industry on various input and output controls including the TACC.
