Sawfish collection records have been collated for a number of conservation assessment projects. This MarLIN record refers specifically to a customised dataset that was created for delivery to the Department of the Environment and Water Resources (DEW). The dataset comprises distribution records of the freshwater sawfish, Pristis microdon, and the green sawfish, Pristis zijsron, in northern Australia. The records include incidental catches in prawn trawls and gill nets. The data sources included logbook and observer data from state and Commonwealth fisheries, and museum records. The dataset includes records from dataset 'Sawfish catch data in Northern Australia' (MarLIN record 6549).

The datasets contain summaries of Western Australia logbook data on catch and effort distribution for commercial fisheries in state marine and estuarine waters. The logbook data has been recorded and submitted to WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development by commercial fishers. The data are aggregated to produce summaries of total catch and effort by fishery at a 0.1 degree resolution where 5 boats or more operate. For areas where less than 5 boats operate the data is shown as confidential. The data was mapped using 5 year - financial year periods; 2003/04 to 2007/08, 2008/09 to 2012/13, 2018/19 to 2022/23, and 1 year; 2022/23.

The datasets contain summaries of Tasmania Natural Resources and Environment logbook data on catch and effort distribution for Tasmanian commercial fisheries in state marine and estuarine waters. The logbook data has been recorded and submitted to NRE by commercial fishers. The data are aggregated to produce summaries of total catch and effort by fishery at a 5 degree resolution where 5 boats or more operate. For areas where less than 5 boats operate the data is shown as confidential. The data was mapped using 5 year - financial year periods; 2003/04 to 2007/08, 2008/09 to 2012/13, 2018/19 to 2022/23, and 1 year; 2022/23.

Details of foreign trawl fishing in Australian waters from 1974 to 1990. The data is sourced from daily fishing returns recorded by the foreign fishers while at sea. Weights are estimates only

This dataset comprises catch compositions and trawl locations from a cruise of the Russian fishery research vessel "Tichookeanscy" carried out in Australian waters in March-April 1971, containing 35 demersal trawls from the N, E and SE coasts of Tasmania and Bass Strait. Most records include catch composition by species (presence/absence but not weight), also some data on length frequency, maturity and diet of commercially important species. The data were obtained by exchange with Soviet scientists in the mid 1990s and has had CSIRO species codes incorporated. The dataset is now in an Oracle database in Hobart, and analyses/summaries of the data are given in the accompanying report (see References). A MS Access version of the dataset has been compiled for use within the North West Shelf-JEMS study. This version is available on-line for researchers in the NWS-JEMS study (see data links). The data are also accessible to authorised users via CMR's "Data Trawler" application. A username and password is required to access this dataset.

Snook (Sphyraena novaehollandiae) commercial catch (in tonnes), commercial effort (in number of days fished), and commercial Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE, in kg/day fished) by fishing season per NRE scalefish fishery fishing block for all gear types combined. The dataset was provided by the Tasmanian Wild Fisheries Assessments team at IMAS. Tasmanian wild fisheries stock assessments are conducted by the Fisheries and Aquaculture Centre of the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) on behalf of the Tasmanian Department of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE Tas). Under the Sustainable Marine Research Collaboration Agreement (SMRCA), IMAS conduct fishery assessments, provide expert management advice and undertake scientific research on Tasmanian fisheries issues for NRE Tas.

This dataset comprises catch compositions and trawl locations from a cruise of the Russian fishery research vessel "Mys Tichy" carried out in Australian waters between March and April 1978, containing 22 pelagic trawls on the Lord Howe Rise in the Coral Sea.
