Assessing the efficiency of alternative pot designs for the Southern Rock Lobster (Jasus edwardsii) fishery
Currently in South Australia, Southern Rock Lobster are captured with pots designed in line with State fishing gear regulations. However, alternative pot designs may have the potential to increase fleet efficiency through increased catch rates, thereby lowering overall operating costs. This project is investigating the potential for alternative pot designs to increase catch efficiency.
