摘要：Demersal reef fishes are targeted by recreational and commercial fishers using boats;
recreational fishers use privately owned boats or charter boats. Demersal reef fishes commonly
caught off south-western Western Australia include three endemic species, West Australian
dhufish Glaucosoma hebraicum, the breaksea cod, Epinephelides armatus, and the baldchin
groper Choerodon rubescens. The snapper Pagrus auratus, has a widespread distribution
throughout temperate Australia. In recent years the rates of exploitation of these demersal
species have increased due to increases in numbers and size of recreational fishing boats in
WA. Also, improvements in, and more affordable, fishing technology have increased fishing
efficiency in both the recreational and commercial fleets. As most of the population of WA lives
in metropolitan Perth, increased exploitation is particularly evident in the metropolitan waters
off Perth (Wise et al. 2007).
