  • A Quality Future for the Recreational Marron Fishery
    Proposals for community discussion A QUALITY FUTURE FOR THE RECREATIONAL MARRON FISHERY A five-year draft strategy to ensure the long-term sustainability of the marron fishery By the RFAC Recreational Freshwater Fisheries Stakeholder Sub-Committee FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PAPER No. 198 Published by the Department of Fisheries 168-170 St Georges Terrace Perth WA 6000 September 2005 ISSN 0819-4327 Fisheries Management Paper No. 198 A Quality Future for the Recreational Marron Fishery By the RFAC Recreational Freshwater Fisheries Stakeholder Sub-Committee September 2005 Fisheries Management Paper No. 198 ISSN 0819-4327 2 Fisheries Management Paper No. 198 FOREWORD Fishing for marron has a long history in Western Australia. The large freshwater crayfish has been highly prized for its eating qualities since early European settlement and Indigenous West Australians are likely to have captured marron for thousands of years. In the early 21st century, over 20,000 recreational licenses are issued annually that enable fishers to participate in the marron fishery. There are now thought to be two separate species of marron - the common or ‘smooth’ marron and the recently discovered ‘hairy’ marron. The ‘hairy’ marron, which only occurs in Margaret River, is now under threat from habitat changes and the more aggressive ‘smooth’ marron that has been introduced into the Margaret River catchment. While a designated recovery team has been established to help protect ‘hairy’ marron stocks, there has been widespread concern over the past few decades that ‘smooth’ marron stocks are also under increasing pressure through environmental changes. Factors such as declining rainfall, land management practices, predation by exotic and feral fish and fishing pressure have all contributed to declining stocks in many popular ‘marroning’ locations.
