摘要:Along the lower southwest coast of Western Australia there are a number of inshore habitats,
including permanently open estuaries, seasonally open through to permanently closed estuaries,
sheltered embayments and exposed beaches. These habitats support a diverse fish fauna that
is targeted by a considerable amount of small scale commercial and expanding recreational
fishing activity. The total commercial landings of finfish species from the west and south coast
estuaries, Cockburn Sound, west coast beach bait, Australian herring and western Australian
salmon fisheries was 3800 tonnes during 2001 (Ayvazian and Nowara 2002, Mitchell et
al. 2002). While these commercial fisheries catch a wide range of species, the key species
of concern are Australian herring, Western Australian salmon, tailor, King George whiting,
yellow-finned whiting, sea mullet and yellow-eye mullet (Ayvazian et al. 1997).
