The aim of this guide is to help commercial fishers, scientific observers and recreational fishermen to identify the most common cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid and octopus) caught in Australian fisheries. Logbooks kept by commercial and recreational fishers provide essential information for fisheries research and management; however, for the records to be useful the catch must be correctly identified, especially in any developing fishery.

Cephalopods, particularly squid, occur in commercial quantities throughout the Australian Fishing Zone but remain largely under utilized. Squid are highly productive species, and generally live for less than a year. They are caught throughout the year, usually with high catches in spring and summer. High catch rates have been recorded in targeted cephalopod trawl fisheries off northern Australia.

Many of the species treated here have not been described and illustrated in the literature, and until now there has been no shipboard guide to the local Australian cephalopods of commercial importance. However, some of the species are included in other publications, some of which are in the bibliography.

As Australia's cephalopod fisheries develop to the stage where management plans are required, the composition, size and sustainable harvest levels of the stocks must be assessed. Commonwealth-managed fisheries are evaluated on the basis of this information. At present, recorded landings represent only a fraction of the cephalopod catch, as cephalopods taken as bycatch are often discarded at sea or used as bait in other fisheries.

Squid are an increasing component in the reported byproduct of commercial prawn and finfish trawlers in northern Australian shelf waters and interest has been shown by Queensland and Northern Territory fishers in developing target fisheries for squid using jigs. In general, squid caught on jigs or in lift or other surround nets are of higher quality, larger size and, on overseas markets, fetch a much higher price than squid caught by trawling.

In support of developing squid jig fisheries and to provide management advice, this project aimed to consolidate and enhance our knowledge of their fisheries biology and suitable fishing methods for inshore squid in northern Australian waters.

To meet the needs of the fishing industry and fisheries managers, policy makers and researchers, ABARE has been publishing detailed production and trade data in Australian Fisheries Statistics since 1991. The estimates of the gross value of production provided in this report are used, for example, to determine Commonwealth, state and territory fisheries research funding arrangements each year.

This publication, the sixth in the series, contains a comprehensive set of data on the volume and value of production from Commonwealth and state fisheries, and the volume and value of Australian fisheries trade, by destination, source and product, for the three years to 1995-96. The report also contains a profile of Commonwealth and state fisheries for 1995-96.

Australian Fisheries Statistics can be used in conjunction with ABARE's major annual statistical bulletin, Australian Commodity Statistics, which provides ahistorical series of production and trade statistics for fisheries and a range of other commodities, and ABARE's quarterly journal, Australian Commodities, in which forecasts for major fisheries commodities are updated throughout the year. Together these three publications provide a comprehensive account of historical trends in, and the outlook for, Australian fisheries. Detailed analysis of selected fisheries is also provided in the annual Australian Fisheries Surveys Report.
