Executive Summary

This report demonstrates a method to rapidly assess the cumulative risk to sustainability of bycatch species of multiple fisheries. The method draws on other techniques already published in scientific literature and adds a new cumulative ranked estimate of total catch across multiple fisheries. The Ranked Risk Assessment of Multiple Fisheries (RRAMF) allows one to rank bycatch species data within each fishery and cumulate the ranks across multiple fisheries incorporating the relative impact of each fishery. Another feature of this study is that it does not present a single risk result for each species, rather it shows a range of scores based on a variety of combinations of double-weighted parameters used in the risk assessment. The RRAMF method was tested on the West Coast and Gascoyne Coast Bioregions of Western Australia using fishery independent data for general teleost and elasmobranch bycatch; and fishery dependent data for threatened, endangered and protected species (TEPS) (which also included the South Coast Bioregion). Bycatch in this study is defined as any discards from fishing events, and does not include by-product or target species unless the individuals are under/over size or above statutory catch limits. It is important to note that no score was above 48% of the maximum possible score. All bycatch species received low to moderate risk scores using this method for the fisheries in these Bioregions. Those species that were most vulnerable to the cumulative impacts of fishing in these Bioregions were those species with sensitive biological life histories. That is, elasmobranchs and bottom dwelling brooders were ranked predominantly in the high end of the low-moderate risk category and into the moderate risk category. The RRAMF for the TEPS showed that while most species have high biological risk, the low interaction rates reported by fisheries maintained low to moderate risk categories for most species groups. Turtles and pinnipeds featured highly in the low-moderate to moderate risk categories, and Australian Sea Lions (Neophoca cinera) were the most vulnerable with a risk category ranging from moderate to moderate-high. This method uses transparent and repeatable methods that provide information for Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) at a Bioregional level. The method is limited by the availability of relevant and contemporary bycatch data and consequently the results generated require cautious interpretation.

1.0 Introduction

Ever since Ecosystem Based Fishery Management (EBFM) concepts were first introduced in the late 1990s (Smith et al. 2007), commercial fisheries have been under pressure to implement scientific and management practices that reduce or mitigate ecosystem impacts. It is common knowledge that fisheries impact not only target species, but also by-product, bycatch (discards) and the environment (Hobday et al. in review). Interactions with protected species are cause for concern especially in cases where the loss of a few individuals could cause local extinction of a population (Goldsworthy & Page 2007).

A recent FAO publication on the discards of the world’s fisheries implies that early estimates of global discards were not as high as originally thought, and that average annual discards from 1992 – 2001 were approximately 7.3 million tonnes (Kelleher 2005). In that report Kelleher (2005) also state that global fisheries have reduced the amount of discards by increased utilisation of catch, use of more selective fishing gears, introduction of regulations and guidelines to limit catch or area of catch, and improvements in enforcement of regulations (Kelleher 2005). Furthermore, Kelleher (2005) suggested that these global estimates could be greatly enhanced if discard studies were conducted at national and regional levels.

Ideally, fishery discard studies would be conducted in fisheries in a systematic manner that would enable the cumulative estimate of ecosystem impacts at a species level. Unfortunately, in many countries, there are insufficient resources to fund such studies. Hence many fisheries and fisheries managers have turned to risk assessment processes to determine highest-level risk areas to invest limited resources. Risk assessments in fisheries vary from qualitative consequence-likelihood analysis (Fletcher et al. 2002, Fletcher 2005) to determine which features of the fishery are under greatest threat; to semi-quantitative or quantitative species level ecological assessments such as Productivity-Sustainability Analysis (PSA) or Sustainability Assessment for Fishing Effects (SAFE), which investigate specific impacts on individual species and their sustainability through time (Stobutzki et al. 2001, Zhou & Griffiths 2008). Hobday et al. (in review) present the ERAEF (Ecological Risk Assessment for the Effects of Fishing) technique that comprises a hierarchical set of methods or tools, which have evolved from the methods, representing different levels of “quantification”, that are linked within a single framework (Hobday et al., in review).

1.1 Rank Risk Assessment for Multiple Fisheries (RRAMF)

The purpose of this study is to design a risk assessment to investigate the cumulative risk to bycatch from multiple fisheries at a Bioregional level. The RRAMF is designed to overcome the differences in fisheries data collection methods that include use of a variety of measures, and variable observer coverage ranging from <1% to 20% of the actual fishery catch in West Australian fisheries. For example, bycatch species captured in trawl data are reported as number per hour, while in the demersal gillnet fishery bycatch data is reported as annual observed catch (number and weight). Bycatch species are also varied in their life history characteristics and their ecology, leading to variation in the distribution of the species captured. For example, trawl fisheries catch some species regularly in small numbers but others are caught in large numbers occasionally. With the limited amount of sampling of bycatch, it is difficult to discern the typical catch from the rare catch and hence over/under estimates may occur for some species in extrapolation of bycatch data to the whole fishery result. This can lead to large estimates of error surrounding the actual catch, as is evidenced in the FAO global assessments of bycatch (Kelleher


2005). To overcome these issues the RRAMF method compares the ranks of the relative amount of bycatch from each fishery and compares the ranks of the species catch within each fishery. This method provides a rapid and relatively inexpensive method to conduct a multi-fishery risk assessment. It also enables managers to prioritise which fisheries have the greatest impact and which species may require more biological and ecological study to understand the risks of multiple fisheries.

2.0 Definitions

Target species – The species or taxa that are the main focus of the fishing activity.

By-product – The species or taxa that are caught and kept as a result of fishing activities targeting other species or taxa. These species are not the focus of this study.

Discards – non-target or target species that are caught in fishing gear and landed on the boat, and are returned to the water, either because they have no value (e.g. there is no market or they are toxic), or because regulations (e.g. minimum legal size) prevent them from being kept.

Bycatch – includes discards as well as any organisms that are not landed but damaged or killed as a result of interactions with fishing gear. These are the focus of this study.

TEPS – Threatened, Endangered and Protected Species.

T & E – Teleost and Elasmobranch.

Bioregion – The WA State of the Fisheries report states: “Bioregion refers to a region defined by common oceanographic characteristics in its marine environment and by climate/rainfall characteristics in its inland system”.

3.0 Methods

3.1 Data Collection

Bycatch data were searched for in DoF databases, the DoF library, University libraries, personal contact and the Internet. However, bycatch data for Western Australian State fisheries were only found within DoF databases and reports. One other study was found, but due to intellectual property issues this data from the Abrolhos Trawl fishery was not included in this study. Of the 26 fisheries (commercial and recreational) identified in the West Coast and Gascoyne Coast Bioregions, data was available for only 10 fisheries (Table 1). However, much of these data are from relatively old studies and many changes in gear and/or fishing effort, have occurred in the fisheries since then (Table 2). For example, the Shark Bay Prawn Fishery data was collected without Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) such as Turtle Exclusion Devices (TEDs, now described as Grids) as they allow large marine animals to escape from the net when the net is actively fishing on the seabed, in combination with fish escape devices (FEDs) such as square mesh panels. Grids and FEDs are mandatory in the fishery now, so the bycatch data in this study does not reflect the commercial bycatch of the contemporary trawl fisher as reported in the State of the Fisheries as being lower. Another example is the Temperate Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Fishery (TDGDLF) where the study was conducted between 1994 and 1999. However, subsequent changes to management have removed latent effort and restricted effort to ca. 70% of mean 1994/99 levels, (McAuley 2009), by transitioning to a more explicit hourly effort management system. Thus the bycatch should be less than in the data provided here.

Teleosts and Elasmobranchs (T & E) were the focus of this study due to the limited data available on invertebrates. The risk assessment developed here was a three-step process. Firstly, four initial variables were used to reduce the number of species to a manageable list. For the West Coast Bioregion (WCB), the list reduced from 326 to 50, and from 412 to 122 in the Gascoyne Coast Bioregion (GCB) (See Appendix 1 for total list). The second stage involved assignment of the biological and fishery impact parameters to the sub-set of species (see WCB: Table 7, GCB: Table 8) and the weighting of these parameters. The overall risk assessment (see WCB: Table 9, GCB: Table 10) was calculated using the formula described in Section 3.8 to present the most vulnerable species. The third step was an arbitrary notation for each of the species based on the latest scientific and fisheries knowledge of that species. This list focussed on only the top twenty ranked species for each Bioregion. This notation provides advice on a species risk assessment relative to other species (see WCB: Table 11, GCB: Table 12).

3.2 Cumulative Bycatch

The original goal of this project was to determine a cumulative estimate of the bycatch species in the West Coast and Gascoyne Coast Bioregions. However this became impractical for three reasons:

• The lack of data across the fisheries meant a total cumulative estimate could not be made;

• Scaling up the results of the data collected from the minimal sampling regimes to estimates for the entire fishery was grossly inaccurate and lacked common sense; and

• The data were collected in a variety of units and effort, and comparison across the fisheries would be complex.


Instead, to allow an estimate of bycatch across the Bioregions to be determined, a ranking of relative abundance was used for the existing data, which also allows the development of the risk assessment process. For each of the datasets the relative abundance of each species in the bycatch was ranked from 1 – 5. Those species that were rare in the bycatch were given a rank of 1 and those that were highly abundant were given a rank of 5. Accumulating these ranked scores would still not be representative of the combined fishery catch because one cannot compare the bycatch abundance rank = 1 in the Gascoyne charter fishery to the bycatch abundance rank = 1 in the Shark Bay Prawn Trawl. There are different levels of effort and catch in these two fisheries, as there is for all fisheries. Therefore, the fisheries had to be weighted according to their comparative catch abundance. Scaled-up estimates demonstrated the relative impact of fisheries on the bycatch and were used for weighting fisheries (Table 3). That is, the weighting was based on the orders of magnitude differences between the scaled-up data for the fisheries. For example when the Shark Bay Prawn Trawl data was scaled-up from the bycatch study in 2002/03 to the whole fishery based on present effort, the most abundant species that was caught numbered in the tens of millions so this fishery received a weighting of 5. The rest of the fisheries were weighted based on the order of magnitude difference from this point (see “Weight” in Table 3).

3.3 Reduction of Species List

Typical species level risk assessment processes use fishery and biological information to identify the most at risk species. Unfortunately, biological information for bycatch species is limited. Due to the limitations of time and budget, a reduction exercise was implemented to the long list of bycatch species prior to the addition of biological information. The reduction exercise used four inclusion/exclusion parameters to minimise the list to a more manageable subset. These were:

1. Is the species conservation listed? If yes, it was included.

2. Level of endemism (Scale 1 – 5; see distribution in Table 4); Included if endemic to the Bioregion (scale = 5). This is measuring the species ability to recruit from outside an impacted area should the species be depleted.

3. High relative abundance in catches: arbitrary first cut at 50% (>=20 relative abundance weighted rank)

4. Are they a primary target species in another fishery? If yes, it was included.

Note that this exercise assumes that species have no/low risk if they are excluded due to the four categories. For bycatch species, this may be problematic because of our lack of knowledge of many of the species, in terms of their range and susceptibility (life history characteristics in relation to minor fishing pressure) and rare species are likely to be excluded but they may be rare due to their vulnerability status. This limitation is discussed later in this report but it must be noted that this method was developed to be a rapid assessment from limited data.

3.4 Life History Characteristics Variables

Information on the species ranges and their life history characteristics were sourced from Fishbase, Sealife Base, GBIF, OBIS and the scientific literature. For species where no information existed, the most conservative characteristics of a similar sized species within the same genus or family was used. However if no similar species existed, then the highest rank was given for that characteristic. This occurred for seven species in the Gascoyne Coast Bioregion under the ‘Age at first reproduction’


parameter. The life history characteristics (Table 4) chosen were limited to those that were available for the majority of species. This provided some level of confidence in the strength of the risk analysis compared with selecting a larger range of descriptive variables and placing maximum ranks to a large majority of species and potentially overestimating their overall risk.

The variables allocated were:

• Age at first reproduction – The longer it takes for a bycatch species to reproduce the greater the chance that it will be caught before it is able to add to the species’ gene pool and improve the species possible resilience. This follows the assumption of probability of breeding used by Stubutzki et al. (2001).

• Depth rank – This variable reflects the difference among species sensitivity to pressure changes. Some species of fish are known to be susceptible to barotrauma (e.g. tuskfish) while others are less so (e.g. some small serranids) or not at all (e.g. elasmobranchs). The depth that these species are caught also reflects a level of stress, which may increase post release mortality. All elasmobranch were given a score of 2 for this parameter, except the Grey Nurse Shark, which was scored 3 because it actually uses air to maintain its buoyancy (Compagno 1984). Depth rank was applied to species based on the maximum depth they would be caught in the fisheries included in this analysis, not their maximum known depth range.

• Maximum length – Larger species tend to live longer and have longer generation times than smaller species, which slows down their capacity to recover from population reductions (Roberts & Hawkins 1999).

• Mode of Reproduction – Live-bearers, egg producers and brooders generally produce less young than broadcast spawners. Therefore broadcast spawners may have a greater capacity to recover quicker (Stobutzki et al. 2001). This variable provides an idea of relative fecundity and amount of care contributed by the adults to nurture their young.

3.5 Fishery Impact Profile Variables

Five variables were also chosen to describe the fishery impact profile (Table 4) ;

• Management – this parameter describes the level that stocks of this species are managed based on biological and ecological data. Species targeted by fisheries are usually the only species that receive this type of attention. However, some species that are caught in addition to the target species are managed by default. For example, the three indicator target species of the West Coast Demersal Scalefish Fishery are the Pink snapper (Pagrus auratus), West Australian Dhufish (Glaucosoma herbraicum) and the Baldchin groper (Choerodon rubescens). These three species have been the subject of fishery, biological, ecological and genetic studies to increase understanding of their stock status, and receive a rank of 1 under the management parameter. These species are also used as a proxy for the status of the entire suite of inshore demersal species caught in that fishery (Fairclough et al. 2008). Thus, the other inshore demersal species in the fishery are managed by default, despite not necessarily having extensive biological, ecological or genetic information to directly manage that particular species. Default managed species receive a ranking of 3. Three is the maximum scores in this parameter, as all fisheries are managed to some extent and therefore all species are managed by default.

• Sum of Ranks- This parameter is the sum of all the weighted ranks assigned to a species in each of the fisheries. This is explained in full detail in the section on cumulative bycatch (above).


• Target of another fishery - If a fishery targets a species, there should be a greater impact on the species as a whole (not contained in the bycatch analysis), than for those species that are only caught as bycatch. The species included in this parameter are those that are primary targets of fisheries as reported in the State of the Fisheries Reports (see www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/sof/index.php).

• Conservation Listing - Only conservation-listed species in the IUCN Red list and the Environmental Protection & Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 were considered. The status for each species in this study is based on the West Australian level of classification. That is, Grey Nurse Sharks are classified as critically endangered in NSW but in WA they are listed at the lower status of near threatened. So this species is ranked as a 2 rather than a 5 as it would be in NSW. Where there were differences between IUCN and EPBC assessments , the most recent assessment was used.

• Mortality- Mortality was estimated for each taxon based on current knowledge in the scientific literature. Mortality from the different fishing gears affects each species differently. Mortality data is lacking for most species, so broad generalisations about taxa were made based on the available literature and the known methods of each fishery. As an example, there have been no studies into the effects of the WA Rock Lobster Fishery on the mortality of teleost bycatch. However, the pots are pulled to the surface rapidly from an average depth of 20 m. Any teleosts in the pot at the time will potentially be subject to barotrauma injuries which can lead to mortality. Mortality was calculated as an average rank across all fisheries that impact that species within a Bioregion. For example Port Jackson shark are caught in all fisheries in the West Coast Bioregion assessment and have minimal mortality except in the demersal gillnet fisheries. Overall mortality were calculated as Gillnet: 40-60% + Trawl:0-20% + Recreational:0-20% + Charter fishers:0-20% + Pot:0-20% divided by the number of fisheries. Thus, according to Table 4 the mortality ranks would be (3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1)/5 = 7/5 = 1.4 mortality rank.

3.6 Threatened, Endangered and Protected Species Parameters

Different descriptive parameters were used in the TEPS risk assessment (Table 5). As TEPS are not ‘targeted by any fisheries’, this parameter was replaced by ‘other impacts’. ‘Maximum length’ was replaced by ‘maximum age’ and as the ‘Depth’ parameter was a measure of barotrauma in the swim bladder of teleosts, it was replaced by the biological variable ‘number of offspring’. Management was removed because this parameter is constant for all species that are conservation listed. The data used in both the risk assessments were also different; the T & E data is fishery independent and the TEPS data is fishery dependent. Descriptions of the new parameters are described below.

• Other Impacts – These may be anthropogenic or climate-induced. For example coastal housing and industry development may reduce turtle nesting sites. Introduction of pests to isolated islands where colonies of birds or seals exist may reduce colony size. Dredging of coastal environments may reduce sea grass habitats, decreasing turtle and dugong feeding areas. These are just three examples of many ‘other impacts’ on TEPS.

• Maximum age – Similar to maximum length, is a proxy of the species ability to recover after population disturbance. Longer lived species generally have longer generation times (Roberts & Hawkins 1999).

• Number of Offspring –Species with low numbers of offspring are expected to have reduced ability of recovering from disturbance.


3.7 Weighting of Parameters

In risk assessment it is common practice to weight parameters used to characterise a species’ biological and fishery impact profiles depending on which is/are considered more important. The weighting of parameters will always depend on the perspective of the person or group conducting the weighting process. Therefore, this study presents the range of different perspectives, including no weighting and the average of all the weighting perspectives, to determine if some vulnerable species are identified regardless of parameter weighting. The weighted variable in each case was doubled. Some parameters categorise similar characteristics so they were double weighted together. For example;

• Reproduction - ‘mode of reproduction’ and ‘age of first reproduction’;

• Management - ‘management’ and ‘target of another fishery’.

3.8 Overall Risk Assessment Calculation

The overall risk assessment score was derived by the sum of each of the scores multiplied by the associated parameter weighting and then divided by the sum of all the parameter weights. The equation is represented by:

In risk assessment it is common practice to weight the parameters used to characterise

a species’ biological and fishery impact profiles depending on which is/are considered

more important. The weighting of parameters will always depend on the perspective

of the person or group conducting the weighting process. Therefore, this study

presents the range of different perspectives, including no weighting and the average of

all the weighting perspectives, to determine if some vulnerable species are common

across all parameters. The weighted variable in each case was doubled. Some

parameters categorize similar characteristics so they were double weighted together.

For example:

Reproduction - ‘mode of reproduction’ and ‘age of first reproduction.

Management - ‘management’ and ‘target of another fishery’.

3.8 Overall Risk Assessment Calculation

The overall risk assessment score was derived by the sum of each of the scores

multiplied by the associated parameter weighting and then divided by the sum of all

the parameter weights. The equation is represented by:

where Vi is the vulnerability score for species i, wj is the weighting for criterion j, Ri is the parameter rank of species i for criterion j, and n is the number of criteria on eachaxis (See Stobutzki et al. 2001).

The maximum possible score for the TEPS assessment was 25 because all parameters on the ‘fishery impact profile’ and the ‘life history profile’ had a maximum of 5. The maximum possible score for the T & E assessment was less due to the parameter “Management” on the ‘fishery impact profile’ having a maximum score of 3. Thus the maximum score on the ‘fishery impact profile’ and the ‘life history profile’ was 4.6 and 5, respectively, providing a maximum possible score of 23. The maximum score was divided into 5 risk category scores (Low, Low-moderate, Moderate, Moderate-High, High) (Table 6).


4.0 Results & Discussion

4.1 Teleost & Elasmobranch (T & E) Risk Assessment

It is important to observe the relative effect of the different combinations of the weightings on the final risk assessments. Two common methods used to weight parameters include arbitrary nomination by a group of selected experts from a range of user groups in a workshop style process, or the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which uses a group of experts to independently rank each parameter against the other parameters. The relative weighting is decided using the combined ranking scores (for more detail see Forman & Gass 2001, McClanahan et al. 2008). This study presents the full range of possible combinations of weighting so the reader may decide which is more relevant to their situation. Interestingly, at least 4 of the top 5 species are the same in all combinations of the weighted parameters for both Bioregions (WCB: Table 9, GCB: Table 10) and at least 70% of the top 30 were the same species (WCB: Table 9, GCB: Table 10). Therefore, at least for this method, one might deduce that weighting of parameters is not essential.

The highest possible risk score for the teleost and elasmobranch assessment was 23. No species from either Bioregion using every possible weighting combination scored higher than ~45% of the maximum risk assessment score. It is important to note that regardless of individual species rankings in the assessment, all species received a low to low-moderate risk ranking (Table 9, 10). The species with the highest score was Heterodontus portusjacksoni in the West Coast Bioregion with a score 10.36 using double weighting on the Reproductive and Fishing parameters. The average score across all weightings for H. portusjacksoni was 8.3, and 8.4 with no weighting (Table 9). This species features relatively highly in the risk assessment because it has a high ranking for the reproductive characteristics and it is caught in moderate to high abundances in all fishery bycatch data used in this assessment. However, H. portusjacksoni appears to be very resilient to fishing impacts based on its apparently high natural abundance, resilient life history parameters (relative to other elasmobranchs) and low capture mortality rates. The Gummy Shark was placed second in the assessment. However, species identification of the genus Mustelus is quite difficult and this result may be the accumulation of three species of Mustelus. One of the major limitations of bycatch monitoring is the inability to discern different species due to lack of experience of observers or taxonomic issues, even for larger species like the gummy sharks. This always creates some level of uncertainty in the data, but must be accepted, as training resources are limited.

In the Gascoyne Coast Bioregion, Taeniura meyeni (black-blotched sting-ray) and Rhyncobatus spp. (white spot shovelnose ray) had the highest average score (8.59), non-weighted score (8.5) and the highest overall score with the parameters ‘size and management’ (10.06). As for the Gummy Shark, the Rhyncobatus spp. result is the accumulation of a number of species and therefore is not the most vulnerable in this Bioregion. The scores for these species vary between low-moderate to moderate depending on which of the parameters were double weighted (Table 10). T. meyeni is listed as vulnerable under IUCN conservation status for Chondrichthyans (Cavanagh et al. 2003). However this species is not reported in the TEPS assessment as species level data for stingrays were not available.

To test the validity of the T & E risk assessment, a species that is presumed to be vulnerable to fisheries impacts was inserted into the T & E matrix. Although not a member of the teleosts or elasmobranch groups, the species chosen was the Australian Sea Lion (Neophoca cinerea)


(ASL). This species grows to a large size, reproduces slowly and at asynchronous times, with a small number of offspring. Although the species ranges from South Australia to Central Western Australia, there is minimal genetic exchange between colonies (Campbell et al. 2008). ASLs are air-breathing mammals and are therefore highly susceptible to fishing mortality due to drowning. Using no weighting of the parameters the risk assessment score was 14.25. This score is in the moderate-high risk category in the T & E assessment and is higher than all other species investigated in this study. ASL interactions are reportedly very low (2 in the last 4 years: log book records) in Western Australia and received a rank of 1 (very rare capture), which reduces the risk score. Whether this amount of interaction is socially acceptable requires further study.

Elasmobranchs featured highly in this risk assessment. This group of species have been assessed separately from teleosts in previous assessments due to their biological susceptibility to impacts of fishing (Stobutzki et al., 2001; Salini et al., 2007). They were included in this risk assessment to determine their relative placement to the teleosts. As expected, many elasmobranchs had higher scores than most teleosts due to their life history characteristics rather than the impact of fisheries (Table 9). Elasmobranchs hold ten of the top twenty places in the WCB (Table 9) and nine of the top twenty in the GCB (Table 10). Life history characteristics that make elasmobranchs more susceptible in risk assessment methods include large maximum length and reproductive characteristics such as small numbers of live young relative to spawning of most teleosts (WCB: Table 7, GCB: Table 8). These characteristics make them inherently vulnerable to fishing, with some fisheries having impacted some species of shark. Mortality caused by incidental fishery interactions, while low, may hinder management interventions in shark fisheries to replenish these stocks.

Most elasmobranchs have relatively low capture rates as by-catch within West Australian fisheries and due to mitigation devices such as bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) in non-selective trawl fisheries in recent years, the catch of large animals, including elasmobranchs, has been reduced by 95-100% from the levels reported in the Exmouth and Shark Bay Prawn Trawl fisheries in this study (Kangas & Thomson 2004). However, fishery interactions with juveniles or smaller shark and ray species are not necessarily being mitigated by these devices and further studies are required to minimise this impact (Stobutzki et al. 2002, Kangas & Thomson 2004). Furthermore, all sharks and rays were commercially protected in November 2006, which prohibited retention of elasmobranchs bycatch in all but three fisheries in the GCB and WCB (with the exception of the the two demersal gillnet and demersal longline fisheries and the Marine Aquarium Fish Fishery).

A number of TEPS are recorded in the fishery independent data and included in the T & E assessment but do not accumulate high-risk scores. In the GCB the two rays, Taeniura meyeni and Dasyatis leylandi, are ranked 1st and 8th with scores of 8.59 and 7.02, respectively (Table 10). In the West Coast Bioregion there are two sharks (Carcharias taurus and Carcharodon carcharias) and one sea horse in the top twenty species. However all three species are considered low-moderate risk with scores less than 7.03 (Table 9). Most of the TEPS in this assessment are caught in relatively low numbers. Whether this is because there are few individuals, or fishers avoid them by behaviour or mitigation devices, is yet to be determined. Monthly (Catch and effort statistics) and daily logbook reporting forms require fishers to report all interactions with TEPS, which is common practice in many fisheries around the world. However some observer programs have found discrepancies between estimated catch rates of some TEPS and the reported catch rate using these fishery-dependent reporting forms (National Seal Strategy Group 2007). Only one study comparing TEPS interactions reported by skippers and observers


has been conducted in commercial fisheries in Western Australia. The study in the Pilbara Trawl Fishery found no general pattern of under-reporting (Stephenson et al. 2008), in fact the skipper reported slightly more interactions than the observer for six of nine species of TEPS.

4.2 Threatened, Endangered and Protected Species (TEPS) Risk Assessment

It is important to note that the risk assessment scores for the T & E assessment are not directly comparable to the risk assessment scores for the TEPS, as different parameters and data sets were used. Interestingly, even with different data sets and different risk assessment parameters, the risk categories for species that exist in both risk assessments were similar (C. carcharias & C. Taurus were low-moderate in both). These similarities may be further evidence of the consistency of the method used in this study. No species level data existed in the syngnathid group of the TEPS assessment so direct comparison is not viable. However, syngnathids were ranked as low in the TEPS assessment and the highest ranked syngnathid was low-moderate in the T & E assessment.

4.3 Why do most TEPS have low to moderate scores?

As is expected, the biological scores for all the TEPS were relatively high, an important contributor to the reason for their status as conservation listed species. However, the fishery impact profile is very low. This is driven by low reported catch rates, relatively low mortality rates (except for pinnipeds and dolphins in the current data) and very wide distributions (GCB: Table 13, WCB: Table 14, SCB: Table 15). It is important to note that fishing is not the only impact on many protected species. Other impacts, such as human development or climate related changes, may have significantly greater impact on many TEPS. Australian Sea Lion (ASL) are the one exception to the low to moderate scores (GCB: Table 16, WCB: Table 17, SCB: Table 18). ASL scores and ranks are moderate to moderate-high (Table 18) because it has a 100% mortality in reported interactions (despite the low observed catch, n=1), and although it has a relatively wide distribution, there is a high level of philopatry and genetic subdivision, especially for female ASL throughout their distribution (Campbell et al. 2008). There are also several impacts other than fishing, including expanding human populations, industrial development and eco-tourism (National Seal Strategy Group 2007). These factors also impact turtles as is reflected in the risk assessment but turtles do not have a similar ranking to the ASL (GCB: Table 19, WCB: Table 20, SCB: Table 21). Thus the main reason for the increased score for ASL is high mortality rate post fishery-interaction and the potential impact of the mortality on the individual populations (i.e. high score for distribution reflecting high genetic endemism) regardless of the rare interaction rates and the existence of a single record of interaction in a commercial fishery in Western Australia.

4.4 Assessment of the collected bycatch data

The relative amount of bycatch and the sampling methods of the fisheries in each Bioregion create a level of bias in the final list based on a species’ life history characteristics. For example, in the GCB, the list reflects those species that have life history characteristics that are susceptible to trawling. Those species with the highest vulnerability are bottom-dwelling brooders (e.g. catfish), elasmobranchs (e.g. rays) or schooling juvenile species that recruit to low relief sandy areas (Lethrinus punctulatus: Blue-spotted Emperor). The majority of the remaining species


are small-bodied, poor swimmers that inhabit sandy bottoms. In the WCB most species reflect the impact of gillnets and wet-lining techniques. That is, they are mostly large bodied teleosts and elasmobranchs. This bias does not allow true representation of the Bioregion because not all fisheries were represented equally, some fisheries have minimal data, and others none at all. This is a limitation of this study that requires attention. For example, the data for the South West Trawl are nearly 20 years old and the Abrolhos scallop trawling bycatch data are unavailable (due to confidentiality) for this analysis although teleost bycatch in this scallop fishery is minimal and since 2005, large animal capture is minimised because of grids (FEDs) in nets. To fully investigate the cumulative impacts of multiple fisheries within a Bioregion a study must have data from all the fisheries to be confident that the study represents the risk to all species in the Bioregion.

4.5 Assessment of method

A general limitation for all risk assessments using catch data is the inability to discern catch due to large abundances or catch because the species is vulnerable to the gear; particularly with bycatch species, of which we have very little ecological and biological understanding. The RRAMF method automatically assumes species that are a) not caught in high numbers, b) not a TEPS, c) not a target of another fishery, and d) are widely distributed, are not considered high priority in regards to risk from the combined effort of WA’s fishing fleets, including recreational and charter fishers. This assumption may not apply to some species, but when the goal is to prioritise and focus on the cumulative impact of fisheries species, these assumptions are required. This method produced similar results as depletion experiments investigating vulnerability (to trawl gear) of fish species in GCB fisheries, which demonstrated that eight species had depletion rates of >50% which were termed ‘vulnerable’ or more ‘catchable’ (Kangas et al. 2007). All eight species made the GCB final list in this study via the risk assessment process, indicating that this method produces similar results. Transferability and repeatability are the main goals of designing a risk assessment (Astles et al. 2006), which was demonstrated by the similar risk scores for TEPS when the methods were transferred from the fishery independent data to the fishery dependent TEPS data. Repeatability in this study was aided by the clear documentation of decision rules, and the identification of all possible weighting scenarios presented to the public, minimising the need for collective expert opinion in the risk assessment design as seen in previous studies (Fletcher et al. 2002, Fletcher et al. 2005).

The results presented here are limited by the quality, amount and availability of recent data relative to the number of fisheries State-wide. The results represented in the T & E risk assessment for some of the fisheries represent old information that is not relevant to the current situation due to changes in input and output measures introduced since the data was collected. This initial risk assessment is a demonstration of the methods, but the results should be interpreted with caution until more recent data is available to be analysed. The impact of future changes in the fisheries will need to be assessed at regular intervals. One fishery that has potential for increased pressure on fish stocks is the South West Trawl. There is a large amount of latent effort (both in number of participating boats and the spatial extent of their fishing activities) in this fishery and if activated, there will be greater pressure on all levels of catch in that fishery. Overall results in this study suggest that bycatch is low to moderate, and most fisheries in this study have either had their effort restricted or have introduced mitigation devices since the data was collected, which are likely to reduce the risk to many of the species in this study.
