Project 4.8.4 JCU Simpfendorfer, C. (2008) June Milestone Report
This milestone report outlines the results of the first year of commercial fisheries observer surveys. In total 91 days of commercial inshore fishing was observed. The results indicate a wide range of shark and fish species are caught by commercial fishers. Key shark species include blacktip, spot-tail, scalloped hammerhead, milk and whitecheek sharks. All of these species are currently the focus of life history investigations by students as part of this project. Key fish species include grey mackerel, threadfins (blue and king), barramundi and many others. [pdf 270.4 kb]
