摘要:Commercial voluntary logbooks are currently completed by 100% of skippers in the Shark Bay,
Exmouth Gulf prawn fisheries and by Onslow Area 1 fishers. This provides daily shot by shot
spatial information of fishing activity. This daily logbook information was used for the 2000
and 2001 fishing seasons for Shark Bay and Exmouth Gulf to map trawled and untrawled areas.
Sites were then selected from both prawn and scallop grounds (spatially separate in parts of
Shark Bay and overlapping in others) that represented varying levels of effort (no, low, medium
and high) and adjacent areas that were closed or untrawled were also selected. The selected
areas were then shown to operators in each fishery for confirmation.
