Description
The State of the Fisheries document is designed as an essential supplement to the Annual Report to Parliament and provides a more detailed level of information to support the agency's non-financial performance measures.
By summarising management changes, compliance activities and research data such as landings, effort, catch rates, stock assessment and breeding stock levels, this document provides a valuable reference point for Western Australian fisheries of major importance to the commercial, recreational and aquaculture sectors. Information relevant to Fisheries WA's Fish and Fish Habitat Protection Program is also provided.
The report indicates that overall the major fish stocks which support fisheries in Western Australia continue to be in a reasonably healthy condition. The exceptions to this in 1999 were the pilchard fisheries along the south and lower west coasts, which were severely depleted by an exotic virus originating outside Western Australia and not within Fisheries WA's management control.
