Description
Commonwealth fisheries are required to implement harvest strategies to guide their management in accordance with the Commonwealth Fisheries Harvest Strategy: Policy and Guidelines (DAFF 2007). Harvest strategies provide agreed processes for monitoring and assessment, reference points, indicators and control rules for managing a fishery so that it meets specific objectives. However, the reality is that fisheries are characterised by considerable uncertainty and variability. The Commonwealth Fisheries Harvest Strategy Policy (HSP) recommends the application of a management strategy evaluation (MSE) to test how robust harvest strategies are to different management scenarios and control rules. In June 2008, the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) Board approved the Commonwealth Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF) Harvest Strategy. This is a three tier strategy reflecting variable levels of data and concomitant levels of harvest. The main aim of this project was to develop an MSE model with which to evaluate alternative harvest scenarios for the Small Pelagic Fishery. The project also aimed to scope the initial annual research plan required to provide data and assessments to underpin the harvest strategy for the fishery
