The WA Fisheries have just published the above report if anyone is interested in downloading it.

Quite a lengthy report but well worth it if you are a crabber but you will need to navigate thru all the scientific jargon.

Thanks for sharing. I would
Thanks for sharing. I would say though for a Non Technical Summary it was far to technical and unless you were involved would most likely be to hard and wordy to digest. The statements below taking from the summary is the guts of it...... I think. Be prepared for extra fishing fees.
1. Establish a Recreational Angler Program (RAP) in the SCE, LE and GB;
2. Develop methods for the ongoing assessment of blue swimmer crab recruitment and breeding stocks in the SCE, LE and GB.
3. Determine the effectiveness of tagging methods to provide information on the movement of blue swimmer crabs that occurs between the SCE, LE and GB and their adjacent marine environments (including Cockburn Sound and Koombana Bay)
