Study of ghost fishing in the NSW rock lobster fishery

Ghost fishing occurs when fishing gear is lost or abandoned but continues to kill fish. The same piece of fishing gear may continue to ghost fish for several years which results in additional fishing mortality to that attributed to the catch. Ghost fishing has been shown internationally to be...

Population biology of albacore tuna in the Australian region

The catch of albacore in the ETBF increased from ~500 tonnes per year in the late-1990s and early-2000s, to 2,591 tonnes in 2006 as a number of domestic longliners switched from targeting broadbill swordfish (shallow setting) to albacore tuna (deep setting). In 2007, this higher catch was maintained...
