Abstract

The Northern Zone rock lobster fishery of South Australia is expansive, covering an area of ~207,000 km2. From 1970 to 2002 it was managed under input controls that relied heavily on restrictions to days-at-sea and size limits. In 2003, output controls in the form of individual transferable quotas with a total allowable commercial catch were also introduced. Fishery performance from 1980 to 2007 was analysed based on catch data and model outputs. Trends in catch and effort increased through the 1980s and 1990s while nominal catch rate remained relatively stable. However, from 1999 to 2003 catch decreased by 49% from 1001 to 503 ton and has remained at
