I thank the member for some notice of this question. Seeing that most of the question relates to his term in office, I thought he might already know the answers. (1) Recreational fishing licence statistics to 31 December for each year except 2009 are as follows. For 2005, it was rock lobster, 24 487; marron, 4 219; abalone, 7 110; and umbrella, 13 254. For 2006, it was rock lobster, 23 146; marron, 6 289; abalone, 6 760; and umbrella, 14 141. For 2007, it was rock lobster, 21 555; marron, 7 029; abalone, 8 011; and umbrella, 14 642. For 2008, it was rock lobster, 21 805; marron, 7 977; abalone, 9 280; and umbrella, 15 599. For 2009 to 22 September, rock lobster, 21 930; marron, 7 553; abalone, 9 450; and umbrella, 16 181. The umbrella licence has been available to fishers as an alternative to separate licences for high-value fisheries. This licence includes rock lobster, marron, abalone, netting and freshwater angling. The existence of this licence category limits the capacity to identify how many fishers were targeting the high-value species. (2) The following surveys for the recreational fisheries identified above have been completed and are reported in the relevant “State of the Fisheries” reports. For 2005, it was the rock lobster mail survey, rock lobster phone diary survey, abalone field survey metropolitan region, and marron annual recall telephone survey. For 2006, it was the rock lobster mail survey; rock lobster phone diary survey, abalone field survey metropolitan region, abalone statewide phone diary survey, and marron annual recall telephone survey. For 2007, it was the rock lobster mail survey, rock lobster phone diary survey, abalone field survey metropolitan region, abalone statewide phone diary survey, and marron annual recall telephone survey. For 2008, it was the rock lobster mail survey, rock lobster phone diary survey, abalone field survey metropolitan region, and marron annual recall telephone survey. Survey results for 2009 are not yet available and relate to the surveys listed in the answer to (4). (3) All surveys seek information on the level of catch and effort from the licensed fishers. This information is requested at an annual, seasonal or daily level depending on the survey method being used. (4) Rock lobster, annual survey; abalone, annual survey in metropolitan region and biennial statewide phone survey; and marron, annual phone recall survey.
