Abstract:

This paper describes and compares the sea snakes caught by vessels that target tiger prawns and endeavour prawns or that target the banana prawns Penaeus merguiensis and P. indicus. In 1989-90, 5203 sea snakes (14 species; 7 unidentified specimens) were purchased from fishers who trawled between Koolan Island and Cape York and participated in a dedicated carcass-tagging and data-collection programme. Hydrophines (11 species) represented 86.7% of the total catch. Aipysurines (3 species) represented 15.0% of specimens from vessels that targeted tiger prawns or endeavour prawns, but only 1.1% of

Abstract:

Abstract Population models form the basis for the assessments of species in the tiger prawn component of Australia's northern prawn fishery. Penaeus semisulcatus and P. esculentus are assessed using a size-structured population model. These assessments form the basis for a control rule which predicts future total allowable catches (TACs) for P. semisulcatus and P. esculentus so that the discounted profit from the fishery is maximized. However, there are concerns with this approach: (i) the TAC predictions have consistently overpredicted actual catches and (ii) the assessment for one of the spe

Abstract:

This paper investigates the stock-recruitment and equilibrium yield dynamics for the two species of tiger prawns (Penaeus esculentus and Penaeus semisulcatus) in Australia's most productive prawn fishery: the Northern Prawn Fishery. Commercial trawl logbooks for 1970-93 and research surveys are used to develop population models for these prawns. A population model that incorporates continuous recruitment is developed. Annual spawning stock and recruitment indices are then estimated from the population model. Spawning stock indices represent the abundance of female prawns that are likely to spa

Abstract:

In the Gulf of Carpentaria, banana prawns (Penaeus merguiensis) form dense aggregations that are targeted by trawl vessels with the help of small aeroplanes and colour sounders. Such aggregating behaviour is rare in penaeids and may lead to a change in catchability when stock abundance changes. Commercial logbook data containing trawl-tow records have been used to identify the location, time of capture and biomass of over 600 banana prawn aggregations during 1991–92. The number of aggregations decreased by 83% in the first three weeks of the fishing season. The average biomass of an aggregatio

Abstract:

The relationship between fisheries and climate has been given renewed emphasis owing to increasing concern regarding anthropogenically induced climate change. This relationship is particularly important for estuarine fisheries, where there are documented correlations between river discharge and productivity. The commercial catch of school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) has been shown to be positively correlated with the rates of river discharge in northern New South Wales, Australia. In the present study, a simulation model was developed to analyse the dynamics of the stock for 10 years under a

The impact of global positioning systems (GPS) and plotter systems on the relative fishing power of the northern prawn fishery fleet on tiger prawns (Penaeus esculentus Haswell, 1879, and P. semisulcatus de Haan, 1850) was investigated from commercial catch data. A generalized linear model was used to account for differences in fishing power between boats and changes in prawn abundance. It was found that boats that used a GPS alone had 4% greater fishing power than boats without a GPS. The addition of a plotter raised the power by 7% over boats without the equipment.

When the biomass and area occupied by a stock decline together, catch rates can remain high (hyperstability) and management with effort controls may be ineffectual. Banana prawn (Penaeus merguiensis) catches declined from 2000 until 2005 in the Albatross Bay area in the Gulf of Carpentaria (GOC), Australia. Data from commercial logbooks were used to investigate historical changes in the banana prawn fishery in this and other regions of the Northern Prawn Fishery to infer the potential causes of this decline.

Although considerable variability was observed among rivers, some basic recruitment patterns were discernible. Recruitment of postlarvae tended to follow a 28-day cycle with increased immigration on alternate spring tides. Variability between rivers in the number of resident juvenile prawns at any o

Abstract:

Large-scale patterns of abundance within the by-catch of fish in the Northern Prawn Fishery of tropical Australia were investigated. Commercial catches were sampled from May 1988 to May 1989, between 128� and 138� E. Because sampling could not be stratified by fishing ground, depth, season and time of day, data on the abundances of 115 taxa of teleosts were restricted to: (1) 136 samples collected between 2000 and 0600 hours in depths of 18-49 m from four fishing grounds during August- November; and (2) 270 samples collected between 1800 and 0800 hours in depths of 18-76 m from seven fishing g

Abstract:

Demonstrating ecological sustainability is a challenge for fisheries worldwide, and few methods can quantify fishing impacts on diverse, low value or rare species. The current study employed a widely used ecological risk assessment method and incorporated new data to assess the change in sustainability of species following the introduction of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in Australia’s Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF). Population recovery ranks changed for 19 of the 56 elasmobranch species after the introduction of TEDs, with nine species showing an increase in sustainability. Unexpectedly, ten

The effects of fish density distribution and effort distribution on the overall catchability coefficient are examined. Emphasis is also on how aggregation and effort distribution interact to affect overall catch rate [catch per unit effort (cpue)]. In particular, it is proposed to evaluate three indices, the catchability index, the knowledge parameter, and the aggregation index, to describe the effectiveness of targeting and the ef

Abstract:

Abundance and catchability are crucial quantities in fisheries management, yet they are very difficult to estimate, particularly for short-lived invertebrates. Using two distinct approaches – a standard non-hierarchical model (NH) and a hierarchical Bayesian model (HB) – abundance and catchability coefficients from a fishery depletion process for banana prawns (Penaeus merguiensis) in northern Australia were estimated. Non-hierarchical models treated each stock and year separately and individually, whereas the hierarchical models assumed some form of common underlying population from which the

Abstract:

The potentially detrimental side-effects of prawn trawling are coming under increasing scrutiny in Australian waters, particularly in such ecologically sensitive areas as Queensland's Great Barrier Reef, and various restrictive measures are being suggested. Before changes are imposed on the prawning industry, the effects of trawling on the target prawn species and the long-term management of these effects need to be fully understood. Using a simulation model of a simplified prawn fishery, this paper describes the basis for the current regulatory mechanisms for Australian's prawn fisheries, in
