  • Resource Assessments for Multi-Species Fisheries In
    CM 2007/O:11 Resource assessments for multi-species fisheries in NSW, Australia: qualitative status determination using life history characteristics, empirical indicators and expert review. James Scandol and Kevin Rowling Wild Fisheries Program; Systems Research Branch Division of Science and Research; NSW Department of Primary Industries Cronulla Fisheries Centre; PO Box 21, Cronulla NSW 2230 Not to be cited without prior reference to the authors Abstract As the scope of fisheries management continues to broaden, there is increased pressure on scientific assessment processes to consider a greater number of species. This expanded list of species will inevitably include those with a range of life-history strategies, heterogeneous sources of information, and diverse stakeholder values. When faced with this challenge in New South Wales (Australia), the Department of Primary Industries developed systems and processes that scaled efficiently as the number of species requiring consideration increased. The key aspects of our approach are: • A qualitative determination of exploitation status based upon expert review. The current categories are: growth/recruitment overfished, fully fished, moderately fished, lightly fished, undefined and uncertain. • Application of management rules that require a Species Recovery Program should any species be determined to be overfished. • An emphasis on readily calculated empirical indicators (such as catch, catch-rates, length and age composition), rather than model-based estimates of biomass or fishing mortality. • Use of databases and electronic reporting systems to calculate empirical indicators based upon specified rules. Currently, there are 90 species considered with around six scientific and technical staff. These species were identified by commercial fishers as the important species from five multi-species and multi- method input-controlled fisheries.
