Abstract:

The database comprises the daily catch and effort for commercial abalone fishing. The data is recorded by all abalone fishers by port of landing and abalone zone for all days fished. The data has been recorded since 1984 and its accuracy depends on the fishers. A time lag of six months to receive, enter and check all data exists.
