Calls for research

The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) establishes research priorities for Commonwealth fisheries and arranges for research to be undertaken to address these priorities. In line with these priorities, research undertaken for AFMA seeks to address a number of fisheries management related issues. The majority of research undertaken by AFMA pursues the following research objectives:

• to undertake and improve fishery assessments, including biological and economic assessments of target stocks, bycatch species and fishery impacts on the ecosystem
• to identify strategies to ensure the sustainable use of fishery resources and address information gaps to ensure the effective management of these fisheries.
