A number of commercial fisheries operate within the Torres Strait for which logbook data is collected by AFMA. The rock lobster fishery comprises multiple sectors from both Australia and PNG with the two Australian sectors being a Traditional Inhabitant (TIB) sector and a non-Traditional Inhabitant (TVH) commercial sector.

Reporting of commercial catch from the TIB sector is currently not compulsory and any data that is reported is done on a voluntary basis through processors via a docketbook program.

The docketbook program has been generally accepted well by TIB fishers since its introduction but has a number of limitations.

Brief description

This record describes AFMA catch and effort data for the Torres Strait Rock Lobster Fishery, held by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. A number of commercial fisheries operate within the Torres Strait for which logbook data is collected by AFMA. The rock lobster fishery comprises multiple sectors from both Australia and PNG with the two Australian sectors being a Traditional Inhabitant (TIB) sector and a non-Traditional Inhabitant (TVH) commercial sector. Data for the two Australian sectors is collected by AFMA while data for the PNG component of the fishery is collected by PNG Fisheries authorities with an annual summary (total catch) passed to AFMA at the end of each season. Rock lobster catch data also exists for a trawl fishery which operated in the Torres Strait between 1980 and 1986. For the two Australian sectors of the Torres Strait rock lobster fishery, catch reporting is compulsory only in the TVH commercial sector via a logbook program. Reporting of commercial catch from the TIB sector is currently not compulsory and any data that is reported is done on a voluntary basis through processors via a docketbook program.
