NSW Lobster Fishery Catch and

Effort Logbook

Page - 1

General Information

Purpose of this logbook

This logbook is provided for the use of the fishing business to which this logbook was issued to record the details of any fishing activity undertaken in the Lobster Share Management Fishery by the fishing business.

It is essential that data in this logbook is completed as accurately as possible, as the information is used by DPI to monitor the commercial catch and effort in the Eastern Rock Lobster fishery. Information is also used to monitor and record quota usage by NSW lobster fishers.

Only record details of fishing activities taken under a NSW lobster endorsement. Do not record details of catch or effort from fishing under other State, Territory or Commonwealth authorities. If you are uncertain about the jurisdiction of any areas, please contact Fisheries NSW (Catch Records), see contact details on page 4 of logbook.

Whose responsibility is it to complete and sign this logbook? It is the responsibility of the authorised fisher of a lobster fishing business to ensure all records are completed accurately and correctly, and submitted on time. Authorised fishers must complete and sign the log sheets prior to submission. Any compliance action taken to recover outstanding log sheets will be against the authorised fisher.

How do I complete a log sheet? A log sheet entry must be completed for each day lobster fishing activity is undertaken (including where no lobsters are landed).

No entry is required for days not fished. Where no fishing takes place for an entire month, a nil return form (found at the back of this logbook) can be submitted. If you use more than one method of taking lobster on the same day (ie trapping and skindiving), you must complete a separate log sheet for each of those methods.

Log sheets must be completed in ball point pen. Detailed instructions including examples of a

completed log sheet are found on the following pages of this logbook. Log sheets must be completed for each day fished and at the end of the month to record what disposal took place.

If lobsters are disposed of during a month, a log sheet must be submitted to record this disposal at the end of that month. You must either record disposal for the entire month on the last log sheet submitted for that month or on a separate log sheet with Part E completed only.

When making log sheet entries, ensure that the cardboard backing separates the log sheet being completed (including the carbon duplicate) from the next log sheet to ensure that entries for that log sheet are not transcribed to the carbon copy of the next sheet.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The authorised fisher must complete all the relevant sections (excluding validation of weight) on the log sheet at the point of landing and prior to moving more than 25 metres from the immediate area and before entering any premises.

If an authorised fisher intends to transfer any lobster to another boat the lobsters must be tagged prior to being transferred. In all other cases the authorised fisher must tag all lobsters immediately after the lobsters are landed and prior to moving more than 25 metres from the immediate area and before entering any premises.

Validation of landed weight (kg) must be completed within 2 hours from the time of landing. If you are planning on storing lobsters in a holding pen at sea or in an estuary, the weight of those lobsters must be validated prior to the lobsters being stored. The lobsters must also be tagged prior to being stored in a holding pen. Accordingly, the validated weight of any lobsters that have been stored in a holding pen will be deducted from your remaining quota and MUST be included in Part C of the log sheet on the day the lobsters are stored.

What do I do if I make a mistake(s) or an error(s)? If a mistake is made on a lobster log sheet the log sheet must be cancelled and a new log sheet completed. No alterations are to be made to any entries made on any pages of the log sheets contained in this book. The original must be sent to DPI Commercial Management (Lobster) with the word “Cancelled” written across the sheet so the log sheet can be accounted for.

What if the logbook / log sheet is damaged? If your logbook is damaged to the extent that you cannot fill it in, then you should retain the logbook (with its duplicates) for your information and immediately notify the Director in writing, specifying the logbook or log sheet number (Note: the logbook / log sheet numbers will NOT be able to be used in the future). You will also need to contact Fisheries NSW (Catch Records) to be allocated and issued with a replacement book, see contact details on page 4 of logbook.

What do I do if I require a new logbook? You should contact Fisheries NSW (Catch Records) to be allocated and issued with a new logbook, allowing sufficient time for processing and postage, see contact details on page 4 of logbook.

Submission of a completed log sheet Each log sheet has a carbon copy underneath the original. The completed original must be submitted to DPI and the fishing business owner should retain the carbon copy.

Completed log sheets must be submitted within 48 hours after the completion of the fishing activity of the day concerned. As such you will need to submit each logsheet electronically to Fisheries NSW (Catch Records) by email [email protected] or fax 02 6391 4709, and post the original log sheet to the following address, both within 48 hours:

Fisheries NSW (Catch Records) � PO Box 4157 � Coffs Harbour Jetty NSW 2450 �

Please retain any records in relation to your fish sales as you may be required to produce such documents to a Fisheries Officer upon request.

Penalties for failure to submit completed log sheets Fishing business owners are advised that the following offences may lead to the issue of significant fines, accumulation of demerit points under the share forfeiture scheme or other sanctions taken against any entitlements and fishing authorities held by the fishing business, as authorised by the Fisheries Management Act 1994 and subordinate regulations:

1. Failure by an authorised fisher to submit a separate catch record within 48 hours of completion of any fishing activity.

2. Failure by an authorised fisher to complete a log sheet correctly, or to rectify omissions or errors as requested by DPI within a time period specified in correspondence to the fishing business owner.

3. Recording of false or misleading information by an authorised fisher.

4. Failure to submit a record using an approved log sheet (as found in this logbook).

Help An example log sheet, as well as detailed instructions, can be found over the next few pages of this logbook. If you require further assistance, please call Fisheries NSW (Catch Records), see contact details on page 4 of logbook.

PART A - CATCH DATA

Grid / Site Codes of Areas Fished Record each location fished during the fishing event. Fishing locations can be recorded as either a grid and site code obtained from the map sheets provided in this logbook or as a latitude and longitude to a minimum resolution of the nearest 6 minutes using the GDA-94 datum which is approximately equivalent to the WGS-84 datum.

The maps divide the state into 1 degree grids for each degree of latitude and longitude. Each grid on a map is coded by a letter between A and N (representing a degree of longitude) and a number between 0 and 10 (representing a degree latitude). A degree of both latitude and longitude is each equal to approximately 50-60 nautical miles. Every grid is further divided into 100 site codes which are each equal to 1/10 of a degree in width and length. The sites within each grid are numbered between 0 and 99. Each Grid/Site code combination covers an area of approximately 30 square nautical miles (equal to approximately 103 square kilometres) and this is the maximum scale to which fishing locations are to be recorded.

To determine a fishing location by grid and site code you must identify the site on the map where the fishing event took place. A grid code will be a map reference of a letter followed by a number, which will define the area between 1 degree of both latitude and longitude. This is to then be followed by the relevant site number between 0 and 99 located within the grid code. For example, if you were fishing within 1 nautical mile directly east of the Hastings River mouth, you would record the grid code as ‘L4’ and the site code as ‘49’. As such the area of catch would be recorded as ‘L4 49’.

Grid / Site Code of Max. Catch Record the grid and site code from the location/s defined above which yielded the largest proportion of your lobster catch for that day.

Average Depth Record the average depth of the grid and site location of maximum catch in either metres or fathoms.

Fishing Method Code Use the method code table below to determine the method code to be recorded on the log sheet. For example, if you are using lobster traps, you would record the method as code ‘LBT’ in the method code field.

TABLE 1 – Lobster Method Reporting Codes

Method Method Effort Unit Code Name Of Measure________ SND Skindiving Hours diving (hrs) LBT Lobster trap Number of traps lifted

Effort (Qty) The fishing method and effort table lists the unit of effort measurement attributable to each method. For example, in the lobster fishery the unit of effort for lobster trapping is the number of traps pulled in a fishing event. You should record the quantity of the applicable unit in this field.

Trap Soak Time (days) How long it has been in days since you set your traps (this should be an average if traps have been set for differentt times).

Number of Individuals Taken Record the number of lobsters taken today by this fishing method. (You must count the number of lobsters as calculations from tag numbers often leads to mistakes). Note that this number must include any lobsters caught that day which are being penned or stored in tanks onshore.

First Tag You must record the number of the first tag of the range of tags you use today for this method of fishing. Please note that you will need to use the tags in sequential numerical order from lowest to highest.

Last Tag You must record the last tag of the range of tags you use today for this method of fishing. Again note that you will need to use the tags in sequential numerical order from lowest to highest.

Additional Tag Numbers Used Record all tag numbers that are outside the initial tag range of tags you have used today. You will need to indicate either another tag range that you used or individual tag numbers in this box. If there is not enough room in the space provided please indicate this and write the remainder of the tag numbers on the back of the log

sheet. Please note, for your records you should also write these numbers on the back of the carbon

duplicate.

PART B - TRAP INFORMATION

You must complete the log sheet even if deploying or taking traps out of service was the only activity undertaken that day.

Number of Traps Deployed Today (Small Inshore/ Large Offshore) Record the number of new traps deployed into the water today (this does not include traps from any previous deployments).

Number of Traps Taken Out of Service Today (Small Inshore/Large Offshore) Record the number of traps removed from the water today and not put back in.

PART C - VALIDATED WEIGHT OF LOBSTERS TAKEN TODAY

Validated Weight Record the total validated weight of lobsters taken to one decimal place, including those lobsters penned today. This weight must be determined using accurate scales. IMPORTANT NOTE: This weight must be determined within 2 hours of landing lobsters and prior to penning any lobsters.

Time of Validation Record the time that you validated the weight of lobsters taken today, am/pm.

Today’s Discard (Number) Please give details about the catch of eastern rock lobsters you caught today and discarded.

Undersize - Record the number of eastern rock lobsters that you caught and discarded because they were shorter than the legal minimum length.

Legal size & not berried - Record the number of eastern rock lobsters that you caught today and that you could have legally kept but voluntarily discarded.

Threatened and/or Protected Species Interaction Reporting Forms can be found in the back of this logbook.

By-product Reporting If you have landed any by-product species taken whilst lobster fishing under your lobster endorsement for the period of this return you must tick this box on the log sheet, then complete a log sheet from the ‘NSW Commercial Fisheries Catch and Effort Logbook’. Note: When recording your by-product details in the ‘NSW DPI Commercial Fisheries Catch and Effort Logbook’, please ensure that your LOCATION CODES, METHOD CODE and EFFORT UNIT OF MEASURE are the same as what you recorded on your lobster log sheet. The ENDORSEMENT CODE should be recorded as “LOB” in all cases (i.e. the lobster endorsement as shown on your lobster fishing business card).

PART D - LOBSTERS PENNED / STORED ONSHORE

Number of Lobsters Penned / Stored Onshore Today Record the number of lobsters penned at sea, estuary or stored onshore today.

First Tag Used (Penning Only) Complete this part only if you penned lobsters. You must record the number of the first tag of the range of tags you used today for lobsters that were penned. Please note that you will need to use the tags in sequential numerical order from lowest to highest.

Last Tag Used (Penning Only) Complete this part only if you penned lobsters. You must record the last tag of the range of tags you used today for lobsters that were penned. Again note that you will need to use the tags in sequential numerical order from lowest to highest.

Additional Tag Numbers Used (Penning Only) Complete this part only if you penned lobsters.
