Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: The nine species of interest to AFMA (from a recreational fishing perspective) included in this study are gummy sharks (Mustelus antarcticus & M. stevensi), school sharks (Galeorhinus galeus), southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), striped marlin (Tetrapturus audax), broadbill swordfish (Xiphias gladius), blue-eye trevalla (Hyperoglyphe antarctica), pink ling (Genypterus blacodes), gemfish (Rexea solandri), bluespotted flathead (Platycephalus caeruleopunctatus) and deepwater flathead (Neoplatycephalus conatus). Telephone-Diary Surveys of recreational fishing were conducted in both NSW and WA to provide catch and effort estimates at broad spatial scale. See linked publication for full methodology.

The analysis (i) compares state-based approaches for data collection in WA and NSW, (ii) estimates (with associated uncertainty) catch occurring state-wide for nine species of interest to AFMA and (iii) estimates (with associated uncertainty) fishing effort and catch (all species) occurring within two AMP: Ningaloo Marine Park (NMP) in WA and the Hunter Marine Park (HMP) in NSW.
