摘要：The catch of finfish from the Houtman Abrolhos Islands was estimated for recreational boats,
tour operators, commercial rock lobster fishers and occupants of their camps on the islands.
Separate methods were used for each of the different sectors due to the variation in fishing
activities. Recreational boats and commercial rock lobster fishers were surveyed to determine
catches, whereas the catches by tour operator and commercial wet-line fishers were determined
from their compulsory catch and effort returns submitted to the Department of Fisheries.
The reported commercial wetline catch for pink snapper, sweetlip emperor and Western
Australian dhufish greatly exceeded the combined catch from the other sectors. The commercial
wetline catch of pink snapper comprised 69.9 tonnes out of a total catch of 85.7 tonnes. The
commercial wetline catch of sweetlip emperor comprised 61.0 tonnes out of a total catch of
66.0 tonnes. The commercial wetline catch of dhufish comprised 27.9 tonnes out of a total
catch of 39.0 tonnes
Baldchin groper was also a major component of the catch from the islands. Baldchin groper
was the dominant species caught by persons staying at the commercial rock lobster fisher’s
camps on the islands (27.6 tonnes). Baldchin groper was also caught by commercial wetline
fishers (15.1 tonnes), as by-product in rock lobster pots (11.7 tonnes), by recreational boats
(8.3 tonnes) and tour operators (3.5 tonnes).
