ISSN 1440-3544 ISBN 0642539847 Foreword i FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the National Recreational and Indigenous Fishing Survey, a work that has been several years and many millions of dollars in the making. It is a work commissioned by the Commonwealth Government that will be a central plank in the formulation of Government policy that relates to recreational, charter, indigenous, and commercial fishing now and in the future. This survey comes at a very important time in the management of Australia’s fisheries. I have recently enjoyed the privilege of developing and releasing on behalf of the Howard Government Looking to the Future: A Review of Commonwealth Fisheries Policy which, among other things, identifies as a priority issue resource sharing between various sectors that access publicly owned fisheries resources managed by the Commonwealth Government. I am pleased to record here that substantial progress has already been made on development of the resource-sharing framework. This survey will feed directly into that framework and we will see a fully transparent process to allocate rights and responsibilities to all users of Australia’s publicly owned fisheries resources. These rights will convey greater access security to users other than commercial operators who already operate under a statutory regime, and with those strengthened rights will come heightened responsibility. The 1994 A National Policy for Recreational Fishing in Australia stated that “Fisheries management decisions should be based on sound information, including fish biology, fishing activity, catches, and the economic and social values of recreational fishing.” This survey will now finally allow for this to occur for the good of Australia’s resources at both the State and Territories level as well as the Commonwealth level. I am exceptionally proud that the Howard Government has been the first Government of Australia in my memory that has tackled, and continues to tackle the difficult and often unpopular fisheries management issues that have for too long been thrown into the “too hard basket.” In my capacity as the Commonwealth Fisheries Minister, I am committed to pursuing this philosophy of making the right decisions early in the piece to minimise future angst and maximise conservation goals. I believe that a mature and cooperative approach will continue to develop between, and be adopted by, all fisheries stakeholders in fisheries management in this country, be they lovers of catching, eating or conserving fish. My vision is for future generations to enjoy the same opportunities as we of this generation currently enjoy. For many years it has only been the commercial sector of the fishing industry that has had to collect data used in the management of our nation’s fisheries. With this new data on recreational and indigenous fishing that this survey has provided I am confident we can further enhance Australia’s world leading fisheries management practices. The strong support that this survey received from the Australian community is an indicator of the importance of fishing of all types to our island continent, and this support will continue to be matched by the Howard Government in the pursuit of ecologically sustainable fisheries for all Australians now and in the future. Ian Macdonald Minister for Fisheries, Forestry and Conservation National Recreational and Indigenous Fishing Survey FAP Project FRDC Project No. 99/158 ii Acknowledgements ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people in Australia contributed to the development and implementation of the national recreational and indigenous fishing survey. Senior research and management staff from Commonwealth and State government agencies, recreational and commercial fishing associations, environmental and indigenous groups were responsible for developing the concept, securing the funding, determining the outputs and progressing the concept to the implementation stage. The foresight, hard work and support of these people is gratefully acknowledged. Following agreement on the methodology, a smaller team of people was formed to conduct the survey. This team recruited and trained staff, supervised the collection, collation and editing of data and managed the survey on a daily basis as an independent project within their own States/ Territories. Members of the implementation team (listed below) undertook the substantial body of work required to complete the survey. Their persistence and dedication is greatly appreciated by everyone associated with the project. A number of people deserve special mention. Laurie West, the survey design consultant, Jeremy Lyle and David McGlennon provided intellectual rigour and attention to detail that was fundamental to the success of the project. Jeff Murphy managed the complex tasks associated with data manipulation. Their efforts are greatly appreciated by team members. Finally, the assistance of the interviewer staff and the cooperation of many thousands of recreational and indigenous fishers is gratefully acknowledged.

Current address: Department of Aquattic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Perth, Western Australia, 6986, Australia * correspondence to [email protected] SUUMMARY Margaret River and the Cape to Cape region in the extreme south-western tip of Australia are located between Capee Naturaliste in the north and Cape Leeuwin in the south and encompass all intervening catchments that drain westward to the In- dian Ocean. The region has a Mediteerranean climate and houses 13 native, obligate freshwater macrofauna species (i.e. fishes, decapod crustaceans and a bivalve mol- lusc), four of which are listed as threatened under State and/or Commonwealth leg- islation. The most imperiled species are the Margaret River Burrowing Crayfish (Engaewa pseudoreducta) and Hairy Marron (Cherax tenuimanus), both of which are endemic to the Margaret River catchment and listed as critically endangered (also by the IUCN), and Balston’s Pygmy Perch (Nannatherina balstoni) which is vulner- able. The region also houses several fishes that may represent neew, endemic taxa based on preliminary molecular evidence. Freshwater ecosystems in the region face numerous threats including global climate change, a growing huuman population, introduced species, destructive land uses, riparian degradation, waater abstraction, declinning environmental flows, instream barriers, and fire.

  • Venom Evolution Widespread in Fishes: a Phylogenetic Road Map for the Bioprospecting of Piscine Venoms

Advance Access publication June 1, 2006 Venom Evolution Widespread in Fishes: A Phylogenetic Road Map for the Bioprospecting of Piscine Venoms WILLIAM LEO SMITH AND WARD C. WHEELER From the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology, Columbia University, 1200 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027 (Leo Smith); Division of Vertebrate Zoology (Ichthyology), American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192 (Leo Smith); and Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192 (Wheeler). Address correspondence to W. L. Smith at the address above, or e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Knowledge of evolutionary relationships or phylogeny allows for effective predictions about the unstudied characteristics of species. These include the presence and biological activity of an organism’s venoms. To date, most venom bioprospecting has focused on snakes, resulting in six stroke and cancer treatment drugs that are nearing U.S. Food and Drug Administration review. Fishes, however, with thousands of venoms, represent an untapped resource of natural products. The first step in- volved in the efficient bioprospecting of these compounds is a phylogeny of venomous fishes. Here, we show the results of such an analysis and provide the first explicit suborder-level phylogeny for spiny-rayed fishes. The results, based on ;1.1 million aligned base pairs, suggest that, in contrast to previous estimates of 200 venomous fishes, .1,200 fishes in 12 clades should be presumed venomous.

FOREWORD Recovery Plans are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements No 44 and 50. Recovery Plans outline the recovery actions that are required to address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. Recovery Plans delineate, justify and schedule management actions necessary to support the recovery of threatened species and ecological communities. The attainment of objectives and the provision of funds necessary to implement actions are subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery Plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official position of individuals or organisations represented on the Recovery Team. This Recovery Plan was approved by the Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Australia. Approved Recovery Plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in status of the taxon or ecological community and the completion of recovery actions.
