The Marine Scale Fishery has traditionally been one in which fishing effort shifts temporarily and spatially between species, depending on their relative abundance and value. SARDI research projects have concentrated on providing information on key biological parameters of several of the major species, including King George whiting, Snapper, Garfish, and Southern calamary. The Marine Scale system monitors catch and effort fluctuations in South Australia's Marine Scalefish fishery and provides a basis for assessment of fish stocks. Quantity of fish (by species) and effort (by gear) expended in taking the catch is recorded by monthly returns submitted by the commercial fisher.
