摘要：A 12-month survey of boat-based recreational fishing in the West Coast Bioregion (Augusta
to Kalbarri) of Western Australia was conducted at boat ramps between 1st July 2005 and
30th June 2006. During the survey a total of 15,999 boat crews were interviewed, of which
13,185 (82%) had been undertaking some form of fishing activity and, of these, 10,382 (or
79%) of fishing boat crews had been ocean line fishing. The total annual recreational boatbased
fishing effort for the West Coast Bioregion was estimated to be 1,557,000 fisher hours
(95%CI: 1,495,000 – 1,620,000), which is a 15.5% increase in nominal fishing effort (i.e. this
does not include increased efficiencies generated by technological improvements) compared
to a similar survey conducted on the West Coast Bioregion in 1996/97. The survey estimated
the highest catch (by number kept) was whiting (404,400, which includes a mixture of four
species), Australian herring (288,400), squid (83,800), skipjack trevally (73,700) and King
George whiting (48,400). The largest estimated catch by weight kept was Western Australian
dhufish (186 tonnes), followed by the whiting (46 tonnes), pink snapper (40 tonnes), Australian
herring (40 tonnes), skipjack trevally (34 tonnes) and baldchin groper (28 tonnes).
