Full description

The Western King Prawn species (Penaeus latisculcatus) is landed from South Australian (SA) waters. The prawn industry in SA is divided into the Gulf St Vincent, Spencer Gulf, and West Coast fisheries. A separate fishery in Investigator Strait operated until 1986/87 when it was amalgamated into the Gulf St Vincent fishery. The Gulf St Vincent fishery was closed in 1991/92 and 1992/93. The West Coast fishery was voluntarily closed in 1992/93. This system monitors catch and effort fluctuations in the state's prawn industry. The quantity of prawns (kg) and effort (hours trawled) to catch the prawns are recorded for each fishing period from records submitted by the trawler operators.
