Spawning biomass of Jack Mackerel (Trachurus declivis) in the East sub-area of the Small Pelagic Fishery during summer 2019

This project will conduct ichthyoplankton and trawl surveys in the East sub-area of the Small Pelagic Fishery (shelf waters between south-eastern Tasmania and central New South Wales, including Bass Strait as far west as 146o30’E) during January-February 2019 to estimate the spawning biomass of Jack Mackerel and determine the Total Allowable Catch for the fishery.
