A coordinated national data collection for recreational fishing in Australia

[摘要] Outcomes achieved to date:An improved understanding of the available datasets, and data deficiencies, relating to recreational fishing in Australia through the successful collaboration of researchers, fishery managers and recreational fishing groups.Identification and prioritisation of recreationally-important species at the national level. A quantitative assessment using statistical modeling demonstrated the available datasets are too fragmentary in space and time to produce reliable national estimates. A dedicated national survey or better coordination of jurisdictional surveys is required.Revised jurisdictional estimates of the participation, total catch and effort, and catch of key recreationally-important species provided an up-to-date picture of recreational fisheries nationally.Completion of a framework and web-based prototype of a national recreational fishing data portal to improve access of updated information for recreational fisheries stakeholders, which may be used in management of specific fish stocks, marine bioregional planning, resource allocation for shared stocks, identification of regionally important areas and economies, and business and infrastructure planning through identification of growth trends.
