This record describes AFMA catch and effort data for the Torres Strait Rock Lobster Fishery, held by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. A number of commercial fisheries operate within the Torres Strait for which logbook data is collected by AFMA. The rock lobster fishery comprises multiple sectors from both Australia and PNG with the two Australian sectors being a Traditional Inhabitant (TIB) sector and a non-Traditional Inhabitant (TVH) commercial sector. Data for the two Australian sectors is collected by AFMA while data for the PNG component of the fishery is collected by PNG Fisheries authorities with an annual summary (total catch) passed to AFMA at the end of each season. Rock lobster catch data also exists for a trawl fishery which operated in the Torres Strait between 1980 and 1986. For the two Australian sectors of the Torres Strait rock lobster fishery, catch reporting is compulsory only in the TVH commercial sector via a logbook program. Reporting of commercial catch from the TIB sector is currently not compulsory and any data that is reported is done on a voluntary basis through processors via a docketbook program. The docketbook system was introduced in 2004 in an attempt to collect commercial catch data from TIB fishers when they sold their catch. The docketbook program has been generally accepted well by TIB fishers since its introduction but has a number of limitations. Although the docketbook program has been successful to some extent, there are significant difficulties with data accuracy and completeness. As the program is also voluntary, not all processors participate in the program or complete records for all sales.

This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 2/81. This cruise took place in the Gulf of Carpentaria and the Arafura Sea, under the leadership of W. Okera. Biological data collected on this cruise include Simrad 11000 acoustic data. Species composition and weight by species of each demersal trawl and prawn trawl. Biological data were collected on: Carangidae; Clupeiformes; Leiognathidae; Scrombroidei; sharks; Sphyraenidae; Trichiuridae and a few other groups (see Appendix 1 of cruise summary). Size-sex data on Lethrinus nematacanthus (1086), Lethrinus choerorynchus (213), Lethrinus lentjan (204), Lethrinus laticaudus (66), Scolopsis taeniopterus (686), and Polynemus specularis (182). Liver samples for electrophoretic studes from L. nematacanthus (525) and L. choerorynchus (50). L. nematacanthus and S. taeniopterus specimens retained for meristic and age determination studies. Surface plankton samples for phyllosoma larvae.(derived from the cruise report) - Biological data is available via Data Trawler. - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available on-line at http://www.marine.csiro.au/datacentre/process/data_files/BioData/log_sheet_scans/BOX_AB2009_518/BOX_AB2009_518_index.htm

This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 1/79. This cruise took place in the North West Shelf during 21 November - 17 December 1979, under the leadership of Peter Young. Biological data collected on this cruise include distribution, abundance, lengths, weights, sex, and gonadal conditions for the following fish families: Lutjanidae (8 species), Nemipteridae (5 species), Pentapodidae (1 species), Lethrinidae (4 species), Pomadasyidae (1 species) and Priacanthidae (2 species). Stomach contents, scales and otoliths were also retained from these species and from Synodontidae. Photographs of approximately 200 fish species for the CSIRO taxonomic and photographic index of North West Shelf fishes. Plankton samples from day and night sampling. Deep midwater fish samples for the Australian Museum. Benthic invertebrate samples from all trawls and dredges for the Western Austalian Museum.(derived from the cruise report) - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line.
