This seventh stock status report evaluates the condition of key species in the South Australian Lakes and Coorong Fishery for the 2011–12 period. It assesses species such as pipi, black bream, mulloway, and golden perch against performance indicators defined in the management pla...
This report delivers a comprehensive stock assessment of Victoria’s Rock Lobster and Giant Crab fisheries for 2011/12. Catch rates in both the Eastern and Western Rock Lobster zones have improved, likely due to strong puerulus settlement in 2005 and 2006. Despite these gains, bio...
This report updates the 2011 report and documents interactions with threatened, endangered or protected species (TEPS) within South Australian commercial fisheries. The report was compiled using data submitted to South Australian Research and Development Institute voluntarily by ...
This report provides an overview of the Northern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (NZRLF) for the 2011/12 season, noting continued full utilisation of the Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC) and a substantial reduction in fishing effort. Catch per unit effort (CPUE) has improved sig...
This report reviews the status of the Southern Zone Rock Lobster Fishery (SZRLF) for the 2011/12 season, during which 99% of the 1,250 tonne TACC was harvested. Fishing effort was at its lowest since 2005, and catch per unit effort (CPUE) rose significantly for the second year ru...
