North Coast Fish Identification Guide, Ben M. Rome, Stephen J. Newman Sep 2010

North Coast Fish Identification Guide, Ben M. Rome, Stephen J. Newman

Fisheries occasional publications

The intention of the North Coast Fish Identification Guide is to provide a simple, easy to use manual to assist commercial, recreational, charter and customary fishers to identify the most commonly caught marine finfish species in the North Coast Bioregion, Western Australia. This guide is not intended to be a comprehensive taxonomic fish ID guide for all species. It is anticipated that this guide will assist fishers in providing a more comprehensive species level description of their catch and hence assist scientists and managers in understanding any variation in the species composition of catches over both spatial and temporal scales.
