Logbook catch and effort data for the Coral Sea Fishery (CSF) has been assessed in accordance with
the trigger limits detailed in harvest strategies for each respective CSF fishing sector.
Line, Trap and Trawl (LT&T) Sector
Fifty one tonnes of fish was landed from the LT&T sector of the CSF during the 2015-16 fishing year
(1 July-30 June). Catch and effort data for the past three fishing years is outlined in Table 1 below.
There has only been catch and effort in the line sector for the past three seasons.
Table 1 Catch and effort for the LT&T sub-fisheries over the past three seasons
The 2015-16 catch is the highest of the past three seasons. The 2015-16 catch increased by over 40 t
from the 2014-15 season, but was matched by an increase in the number of hooks in the line sector. A
basic comparison of effort/catch suggests that CPUE has increased, however, unstandardized CPUE is
not a particularly useful index in a fishery where effort is focused on aggregating reef-associated
species.
The high species diversity in the CSF catch results in a lot of species that are only caught in small
amounts. Of the 43 species caught in 2015-16, only 21 species had total catches greater than 100 kg
and of these only six were greater than one tonne. The top ten species by volume for the 2015-16
season are listed in Table 2. Four of these species have been in the top ten highest catches for the

been a marked increase in the catch of snapper species in 2015-16, accounting for 80 per cent of the
total catch in the sector.

The Triggers
The harvest strategy details various trigger limits that relate to either a Level 1 or Level 2 response. A
Level 1 response determines why the observed changes are occurring, instigates increased data analysis
but no stop to fishing. The more restrictive Level 2 response requires fishing for the species that
activated the trigger to stop (for that fishing year) until assessments show it can continue by way of the
trigger being revised. The table in Appendix 1 contains all of the species caught in the LT&T for 2015-
16 and any triggers that each species reached.
5
1. Overarching catch triggers
i. Must be less than the total highest catches across the main species caught to date
The definition of ‘main species’ in respect to this trigger needs to be further developed and clarified. A
more specific reference in the form of a catch threshold could be implemented to ensure only species
with a certain level of catch are considered. A Coral Sea Fishery panel meeting was held in Cairns on
21 September 2016. It was agreed that an average catch of 1000 kg over a five year period is a suitable
threshold for a species to be considered a ‘main species’ and is consistent with the 1000 kg threshold
applied to other triggers in the harvest strategy.
Flame snapper was the only species to trigger a level one response. There was 28.6 t of Ray’s bream
landed in 2015-16 compared to the historical high of 26.4 t. Results of the ABARES Reducing
Uncertainty in Stock Status (RUSS) project suggests that a catch of 32 t is within sustainable limits for
flame snapper1.
ii. Overarching Level 1 trigger for total fishery catch: 450t
iii. Overarching Level 2 trigger for total fishery catch: 1000t
Total catch for the LT&T sector for 2015/16 was 51,615 kg, which is well below the Level 1 trigger
value.
2. Species-specific triggers (high risk/vulnerable AND key species)
Whitetip reef shark
i. Level 1: 2.5t (1/6 historical high catch)
There was 63 kg of whitetip reef shark caught in 2015-16.
ii. Level 2: 5t (1/3 historical high catch)
As above
1 Medium MSY value using an exploitation constant of 0.7 which is considered more likely to accurately estimate MSY for
the scalefish species involved.
6
Grey reef shark
i. Level 1: 13t (1/2 historical high catch);
There was no catch of grey reef shark in 2015-16.
ii. Level 2: 26t (historical high catch);
As above
No other threatened, endangered or protected (TEP) species were reported in the CSF for 2015-16.
High risk species may be revised pending the outcomes of the Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA)
scheduled for 2017.
3. Triggers pertaining to changes in catch proportion
i. If the relative catch proportion of any species changes by >30% from its historical average AND the
catch of this species is greater than 1t, invoke a Level 1 response for the relevant species. If this is
accompanied by a ≥50% overall decline in CPUE over the last 3 years, invoke a Level 2 response.
Six species activated the Level 1 trigger for the 2015-16 season; flame snapper, ruby snapper, rosy
snapper, bar rockcod, amberjack and Ray’s bream. None of these triggers were accompanied by a
greater than 50 per cent decline in CPUE over three years. Two of these species also recorded their
highest historical catches; flame snapper (28,628 kg) and Ray’s bream (1,201 kg).
Flame snapper accounted for 55 per cent of the total catch in the Coral Sea Fishery in 2015-16. Until
2012-13, flame snapper did not account for any more than 10 per cent of the total catch in the CSF,
however have accounted for between 40 and 60 per cent of the total catch in the last four seasons. They
are an aggregating reef-associated species and logbook analysis suggests that they are targeted by
certain vessels.
As noted earlier, the outcomes of the ABARES RUSS project suggest that catches of up to 32 t is
within sustainable limits for flame snapper. AFMA will continue to monitor catches of flame snapper
to ensure that catches remain within sustainable limits.
Table 3 Catches of flame snapper as a proportion of total catch since 2011-12.
Fishing season 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16
Total Fishery Catch 41,710 53,119 9,106 10,141 51,615
7
Flame Snapper Catch (kg) 3,020 26,426 3,906 5,797 28,628
Catch proportion (%) 7.24 49.75 42.89 57.16 55.46
There was 1.2 tonne of Ray’s bream landed in 2015-16. Over the last ten seasons in the CSF, only 12
kg of Ray’s was landed in 2010 which is why there has been such a significant increase in the average
proportion of total catch. Logbook analysis suggests that Ray’s bream are caught as a byproduct
species when targeting flame snapper. Up to 20 t of Ray’s bream are caught as a byproduct species in
the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery which partly operates in the same area of the CSF. It is unlikely
that a catch of 1.2 tonne is unsustainable to the stock. AFMA will monitor catches of Ray’s bream into
the future to ensure catches remain sustainable.
AFMA management considers the risk to the remaining four species; ruby snapper, rosy snapper, bar
rockcod and amberjack, as low given the catch of each species was less than 50 per cent of their
historical highest catches.
ii. If the relative proportion of any species in the catch declines inter-annually by 10% or greater over
3 consecutive years, invoke a Level 1 response. If this is accompanied by a ≥50% overall decline in
CPUE over the last 3 years, invoke a Level 2 response.
There were no species triggered in 2015/16.
The triggers pertaining to relative catch proportion were introduced as a way of detecting when a
particular species represents a disproportionate amount of the catch relative to previous years. In a
fishery where the catch of all species is variable but small, the relative catch proportion of any given
species can fluctuate significantly with little change in the total catch.
It was agreed at the CSF panel meeting that the trigger for relative catch be revised, with the view to
including relative catch as part of the analysis of catch based triggers, as opposed to a stand-alone
trigger.
4. Triggers pertaining to spatial changes
Spatial data is reported as a single latitude and longitude that indicates the north western corner of the
grid square in which the fishing was undertaken. Each grid square is a quarter of a degree
(approximately 15 nautical miles or 27.8 kilometres) by a quarter of a degree, which results in an area
8
of approximately 771 square kilometres. This is a large area over which to report fishing activity,
especially when the activity is likely to occur in only concentrated locations within each grid.
For the purposes of this trigger report, each grid square is treated as an ‘area’ in order to apply the
existing triggers. The total number of areas fished in each of the last three seasons was tallied and the
number of areas fished per season is expressed relative to previous years. Percentage changes in the
area fished are then calculated as the number of ‘areas’ fished relative to the previous year. The area
fished over the last three fishing seasons is summarised in Table 3.
Table 4 Summary of areas fished in the line, trap and trawl sector for the past three seasons. Note: There has been
no fishing using trawl or trap in the past three seasons.

If the following changes occur invoke a Level 1 response to determine why, with the added option of
imposing spatial management measures, such a closures or move-on provisions:
i. the percentage of areas fished increases by ≥40% (fishery expansion), OR
ii. the percentage of areas fished decreases by ≥40% (fishery contraction), OR
There was a 407 per cent increase in fishing areas from 2014-15 to 2015-16.
iii. if ≥40% of the total catch is taken from a single area (fishery contraction/undue fishing
pressure on one area) OR
Of the approximately 51 t caught in the line, trap and trawl sector in 2015-16 the highest contribution
from a single area was 13.7 t or 27 per cent. Area is represented in Table 4 as a Hillgrid, which is a nine
digit number that provides grid references for any specific Latitude and Longitude in the world, in this
case a quarter degree cell.

411,442,012 1,405 3%
iv. if ≥40% of once-exploited areas are no longer fished.
The “once exploited areas” are taken to be the “total number of individual areas fished over the past
three years” for the purposes of assessing this trigger. Table 5 shows the total number of areas
(Hillgrids) fished from the 2012-13 to the 2014-15 fishing season and the total number of areas fished
in the 2015-16 fishing season. Of the 23 areas which were once exploited, only 11 of those areas were
exploited in 2015-16 which means that 52 per cent of once-exploited areas were not fished in 2015-16.
This has triggered a Level 1 response.
However, there were a total of 33 cells fished in 2015-16. Twenty two of those areas, or 66 per cent,
have not been exploited in the last three years. This trigger was intended to pick up recent decreases in
the areas fished within the Coral Sea, however it does not account for shifts in effort. Despite there
being more areas exploited in 2015-16 than in the last three years combined, there were still greater
than 40 per cent of previously exploited areas that were not fished.

Deriving the “once-exploited areas” data from the full data set, as opposed to only from the past three
seasons, would increase the number of “once-exploited areas” that were not fished.
v. If any of the above triggers are accompanied by a ≥50% overall decline in CPUE over the last three
years, invoke a Level 2 response.
There was not a decline in CPUE across the fishery.
The appropriateness of areas-based triggers was reviewed at the September 2016 CSF panel meeting.
Because of the size of the fishery and the relatively few vessels that operate within it, these triggers are
overly sensitive and are often triggered with little change to actual fishing effort and distribution. It has
been proposed that some of the area-based triggers are removed from the harvest strategy and made
part of catch-based trigger analyses if they occur.
11
Rule number 3 (if ≥40% of the total catch is taken from a single area) is still a practical trigger, as it
identifies where a disproportionate amount of catch has come from a single area.
5. Triggers pertaining to CPUE
i. If CPUE for any species shows a decline over the last 3 years, but without any of the above
indicators being triggered, a Level 1 response shall be invoked if the decline is less than or equal to
50%, and a Level 2 response shall be invoked if the decline is greater than 50%.
The range of fishing methods in the LT&T sector means each gear type must be assessed separately.
There was no trawl or trap effort in the last three years, and so CPUE has been calculated using the
total weight landed relative to the number of hooks set for demersal longline and dropline methods
combined. It is important to note that CPUE in this case is not standardised, and in a fishery where
effort is targetted on aggregating reef-associated species, it is not a particularly useful indicator.
Nine of the 43 species caught in 2015-16 activated a Level 1 trigger on the provision that no other
triggers were met for these species (Table 7). Of these, six also triggered Level 2 responses; that is a
greater than a 50 per cent decline in CPUE.

The appropriateness of CPUE-based triggers was also discussed at the September 2016 panel meeting.
Highly variable catch composition, relatively low catch rates and spatial distribution of effort mean that
these triggers are likely to be met. The application of an overall CPUE to individual species does not
12
discriminate between target and incidental species, and the wording with respect to time period,
specifically “decline over the last 3 years”, is ambiguous. For the purposes of this review, the trigger
has been applied as the difference between the 2013-14 and the 2015-16 fishing season, disregarding
the 2014-15 data. Unstandardized CPUE is also considered a poor indicator in a fishery where fishing
is targeted to aggregating reef-associated species.
The difficulty in assessing CPUE trends for species groups such as ‘mixed fish’ and ‘trevallas and
scads’ further complicates the trigger review.
Considering the above, AFMA is not concerned that the CPUE triggers are truly reflective of stock
status for these species, however will continue to monitor the total catch of these species over time.
Discussion
Thirty-three of the 43 species caught in 2015-16 activated at least one trigger. Of those, only eight had
catches greater than 500 kg. Six of those eight species met the trigger for relative change in catch
proportion which is largely due to the low catch of all other species. Given the total catch in the LT&T
sector in 2015-16 is one fifth of the catch required to trigger a Level 1 response for fishery-wide catch,
and is one quarter of the highest historical catch in the sector, which is also considered sustainable, the
number of species which activated triggers deserves consideration.
The appropriateness of the review triggers in the LT&T sector was discussed at the September 2016
panel meeting. Noting the points made in each of the triggers reviews above, the panel made the
following recommendations:
The 450 t (Level 1) and 1000 t (Level 2) total catch triggers to be replaced by three separate
species assemblages triggers for deep water scalefish, reef associated scalefish and shark
assemblages. The triggers will be based on the outcomes of the 2015 ABARES project
‘Reducing Uncertainty in Stock Status’.
Implement species-specific triggers for key fish species based on MSY estimates from the
RUSS project. A key species is any species with a 5-year average catch of more than 1000 kg.
CPUE and effort (area) based triggers will be removed and incorporated into Level 1 and Level
2 analyses, when catch based triggers are reached.
13
These proposals will be implemented in a revised Line, Trap and Trawl Harvest Strategy for the 2017-
18 season, which will be subject to consultation with industry stakeholders.
Improving species identification and reporting should remain a priority for the CSF.
Aquarium
The triggers
The Hand Collection Sector: Aquairum Harvest Strategy details various triggers pertaining to catch and
effort. Five main functional groups with the highest historical catch have been specified in order to
monitor catch; angelfish, damselfish, gobies, surgeonfish and wrasse. The triggers below have been
developed to encapsulate the dynamics of the fishery, which if triggered lead to analyses and possible
management responses until the risk has been mitigated or analysed further.
1. Triggers pertaining to effort
i. Has 200 or more fishing days been logged for the financial year?
There was a total of 97 days fished in 2015-16.
2. Triggers pertaining to catch
i. Have 40,000 or more individuals been logged for the financial year?
There was a total of 32,494 specimens collected in 2015-16.
ii. Has 20 t or more of live rock been logged for the financial year?
There was a total of 3.6 t of live rock collected in 2015-16.
iii. If 40 t of live rock is taken in a single season then cease fishing for live rock.
Not applicable.
iv. If the above trigger has not been reached within 3 years, an assessment of the sustainable take of
live rock must be undertaken within the next 3 years.
14
This trigger was put in place to account for a potential decrease in the catch per unit of effort for live
rock. The take of live rock in the aquarium sector is largely market driven, and the low level of
harvest is reflective of a low market demand. The total allowable take of ‘other corals’ in the
Queensland Coral Fishery is 140 t which includes live rock. It is unlikely that 3.6 t harvested from the
Coral Sea Fishery is unsustainable.
3. Triggers pertaining to catch proportion
i. If a significant change in the relative proportion of the catch of a functional group occurs and no
other trigger has been reached and the number of specimens is >500 then do Level 1 assessment.

Wrasse 84 5419 8269 Below 30% 16.69 16.18 No
These triggers were put in place to monitor the total catch and proportion of each functional group
within the 40,000 specimen limit, to ensure that no single group constitutes a disproportionate amount
of the catch.
The triggers are set at 30 per cent above and below the five year average using two metrics; the number
of specimens collected, and the proportion of total catch.
In 2015-16 the number of wrasse collected was more than 30 per cent below the five year average. All
other functional groups were within 30 per cent of the five year average for catch proportion. The
collection of species in the Aquarium sector is very selective and largely market driven. Given the
number of wrasse collected in 2015-16 is below the 5-year average, it is unlikely that this group is at
risk.
15
Humphead Maori wrasse monitoring
Aquarium sector fishing permit holders are authorized to take a total of 50 specimens during the season
(25 per concession holder). Operators are required to record the number of specimens taken per trip,
their size and latitude/longitude information in the ‘comments’ section of their logbook. Fisheries
Queensland provides logbook services for the aquarium sector of the CSF.
Fisheries Queensland provide scanned copies of those logbooks to AFMA when they are submitted,
and AFMA keeps a record of Maori wrasse catches.
The risk to Maori wrasse was considered at the September 2016 stakeholder group meeting. The
current take of Maori wrasse in the CSF is less than 10 individuals per year, which is considered to be
very low compared to likely population size in the CSF area (AFMA, 2011). It was noted by the panel
that 8 of 15 individuals caught over the two seasons were taken from a single reef. Ongoing monitoring
of the abundance of this humphead Maori wrasse confirms that the Australian North eastern reef
systems support healthy populations of this species that has showed no evidence of decline over the last
20 years. The removal of between 10 and 50 individuals per year of this species from the Coral Sea and
or the GBR reefs is highly unlikely to have detrimental effects on the status and numerical abundances
of Maori wrasse (personal communication, Howard Choat, February 2017). The methods used to
capture this species are highly selective, with little impact on other species and the marine
environment. Maori wrasse taken by the Aquarium sector have had a chance to breed and large areas of
habitat have already been closed to fishing (Skewes, 2016). If it is deemed to be an unacceptable risk to
local populations, then spatial management and/or move on provisions may be implemented.

Discussion
The appropriateness of the review triggers in the aquarium sector was discussed at the September 2016
panel meeting, noting the following:
- Operators can only fish about 7 per cent of suitable habitat within the CSF in any given year.
- Around 35 per cent of the suitable habitat in the fishery is fully protected.
- The estimated extraction rate for key families was less than 0.02 per cent in 2008, and estimated
at less than 0.04 per cent for a fully operational fishery (200 days).
- Species-specific risk assessments of 623 species suggests low or very low risk to the species
harvested in the fishery.
- The aquarium sector stock is classified as not overfished and not subject to overfishing.
- Industry was concerned that the 40,000 specimen trigger is restrictive. The trigger was initially
based on historical catch, rather than sustainability.
The panel made the following recommendations:
- Increase the 200 fishing day limit to 400 days.
- Remove the 40,000 individual trigger and introduce a limit based on functional groups. This
will depend on what data industry can provide.
These proposals will be implemented in a revised aquarium sector harvest strategy for the 2017-18
season, which will be subject to consultation with industry stakeholders.
There was no fishing effort in the Lobster and Trochus Sector or in the Sea Cucumber Sector for
2015-16. No trigger review has been carried out for these sectors.
