Catch and Effort Cells for the Bass Strait General Offshore Fishery
Anzlic ID:
ANZVI0803002812
Custodian:
Abstract:
This layer features the area cells used to record Catch and Effort data for the Bass Strait commercial fisheries since April 1998. This layer is used by the Ocean - General, Ocean Purse Seine, Ocean Scallop and Trawl - Inshore fisheries, and is based on divisions of 10 minutes latitude by 10 minutes longitude.

Purpose:
The CE_BASS_STRAIT_1998 layer provides a grid of cells on which various summary catch and effort data for the Bass Strait fisheries can be imported, displayed, and analysed. Catch and effort data can be used to display trends in fishing activity.
Summary information such as extent of catch, total catch, effort, catch per unit area, and catch per unit effort can be represented. This information is crucial to ensure effective fisheries management, research and monitoring.
This data set may be displayed in conjunction with a variety of environmental data capable of providing an insight into the behaviour of the many species caught in Bass Strait. A depth model, ocean currents, temperature profiles and salinity levels, are useful data that may assist in gaining an understanding into the ecology of these species.
