The perceived problem with dual licensing was unregulated effort and the abilit to circumvent management controls. This paper provides current charter boat management arrangements in Australia, why they should be managed, types of charter vessels, Licensing, Management of recreational only charter vessels, Non-consumptive charters, Management guides and small scale charter operators, Commonwealth jurisdiction, Development of agreed strategies and Identification of future needs.
Review Of Recreational Gill, Haul And Cast Netting In Western Australia., F. B. Prokop
Review Of Recreational Gill, Haul And Cast Netting In Western Australia., F. B. Prokop
Fisheries management papers
In this paper the Recreational Netting Committee has addressed an extremely complex and controversial issue in a forthright manner. They have developed a set of management proposals which accommodates recreational netting while recognizing the concerns of non-netters and the general community. The Committee would like to stress that it considers this plan as a package. For example the Committee would be strongly opposed to the considerable operational restrictions contained under Section 5 if there were not a trade-off in terms of a fairer criteria for which estuaries are open as proposed in Section 6.2. Similarly, the Committee would not be …

Management Arrangements For The Southern Demersal Gillnet And Demersal Longline Fishery 1994/95 Season., Southern Demersal Gillnet And Demersal Longline Management Advisory Committee
Fisheries management papers
At its meeting of 7 April 1993 the Southern Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Fishery Management Advisory Committee (hereafter called "the Committee) was advised of the Western Australian Fisheries Department's Research Division's concern over the status of shark stocks. All the data available indicate that whiskery sharks are severely over-exploited with stock levels declining by around 10% to 30% of original levels. Current levels of fishing effort are expected to cause the stock to decline further. Gummy sharks have high risk of over exploitation (stock has declined to 40% -50% of original levels. Dusty whaler stocks (bronze whaler) is uncertain …

Analysis Of Black Point In Wheat, J M. Wilson
Analysis Of Black Point In Wheat, J M. Wilson
Technical Bulletins
Fungal staining (black point) of wheat can reduce the quality of grain. The most serious problem is a discolouration of products. Discolouration is a consequence of infection by microorganisms. The most likely cause in Western Australia is a species of the common fungus Alternaria. Infection and discolouration occur between flowering and grain maturity, and the optimum environmental conditions are probably consecutive days of high relative humidity together with warm temperatures.

Managing For Stubble Retention, Linda Leonard
Managing For Stubble Retention, Linda Leonard
Bulletins 4000 -
One of the objectives of sustainable farming systems is to retain as much cover on the soil as possible – this helps to maintain soil structure and protects the soil from erosion.
Improving productivity, maintaining soil structure, and stabilising fragile soils are some of the desired aims of farming. Sound rotations, reduced tillage, effective use of herbicides, maintenance of ground cover and careful management of stock are part of the management process used in achieving these goals.
This Bulletin provides an introduction to stubble retention systems. Its purpose is to create an awareness of the benefits and principles of stubble …

Byenup Hill Catchment Report : Carlecatup Catchment Land Conservation District, Justin Hardy
Byenup Hill Catchment Report : Carlecatup Catchment Land Conservation District, Justin Hardy
Agriculture reports
The Byenup Hill Catchment is situated just west of Graham's Well which was a major watering point for early travellers. The area was first settled around 1890 and some of the names associated with early settlement are Hinchey, Dennis, Bilney, Holding and Gabette. Clearing with axes was a slow process and most of the sheep were run in the bush in areas free from poison bush. A reasonable number of trees were left standing and the last clearing was done in the 1980's. The first signs of salt appeared in the 1930's and advanced with increased clearing.

Management Proposals For 1993/94 And 1994/95 Western Rock Lobster Season., Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee
Fisheries management papers
The Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee (RLIAC) in reviewing management arrangements for the rock lobster fishery, were concerned with two principle objectives: 1. That the management measures adopted would arrest the ongoing decline in breeding stock and seek to re-establish the number of breeding female rock lobster to levels consistent with known historic safe levels in the fishery. 2. That the management arrangements adopted would properly take into account market requirements in order to maximise returns to fishermen from an appropriate level of catch.

Flora Of The Quindalup Dunes Between Swan And Irwin Rivers, Western Australia, E A. Griffin
Flora Of The Quindalup Dunes Between Swan And Irwin Rivers, Western Australia, E A. Griffin
Research Reports
A study designed to determine the variation in the composition of the vegetation on the coastal Holocenes and deposits between Perth and Geraldton is described. The study was based on 545 sites at which descriptions of the geology, landform, soil and vegetation and a complete list of flora were made.The floristic composition of these sites varied considerably. Numerical classification showed some quite distinct communities and others which seemed part of a multi-dimensional continuum. Several factors appeared to be instrumental in the variation in composition. Landforms (incipient fore dunes, dunes or plains) were a major factor. So too were proximity to …

They readily acknowledge that their work is just beginning as they now wrestle with this working plan to form something which will have application on each individual's enterprise to ensure a sustainable future for this catchment.This report is a collation of their ideas, an inventory of works done in the catchment and the best advice which research and local knowledge can provide.
Review Of Bag And Size Limit Proposals For Western Australian Recreational Fishers., F. B. Prokop
Review Of Bag And Size Limit Proposals For Western Australian Recreational Fishers., F. B. Prokop
Fisheries management papers
The Fisheries Department of WA and the Recreational Fishing Advisory Committee (RFAC), which is the peak body representing recreational fishers in WA, have been very pleased with the response to the implementation of two year review of recreational fisheries. Fisheries, RFAC and the fishing community recognise that the two year review was the first step in the continually evolving process of management of recreational fisheries. Since the new bag and size limit regulations were introduced in December 1991, there have been many suggestions for refinement and improvement. This management paper includes the most common and best suggestions for future management. …

A Simplified Key For Assessing The Ecological Significance Of On-Farm Bush Remnants In The Wheatbelt, F Mollemans
A Simplified Key For Assessing The Ecological Significance Of On-Farm Bush Remnants In The Wheatbelt, F Mollemans
Agriculture reports
Many farms today still contain areas of natural bush, yet there is little knowledge about the condition and value of this bush. There is also a wider interest by farmers in this bush because of its perceived value in assisting to combat on-farm salinity, and for diverse other reasons. As a response to the general interest by farmers and others in on-farm bush, a key, produced for use in a remnant vegetation survey of the southern wheatbelt (Mollemans,1992), and which may be used to assess the value of on-farm bush, is being reproduced here.

Sheep And Wool Industries Need To Improve Their Performance, Rob Kelly, Tim Marshall
Sheep And Wool Industries Need To Improve Their Performance, Rob Kelly, Tim Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Today in Western Australia, sheep are run at slightly higher stocking rates, are achieving greater lambing percentages (up JO per cent) and higher wool cuts per animal ( up 0. 6 kg greasy) than in the 1960s. When all components of production are considered, the productivity of sheep fanns has increased by 2. 7 per cent per year over the past 35 years.
The challenge of the next decade is to achieve substantially greater rates of improvement than for past years if the sheep and wool industries are to maintain their significant place in Western Australian agriculture.
Should We Export Our Native Birds?, Ross Kingwell
Should We Export Our Native Birds?, Ross Kingwell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The export of Australia's native birds is prohibited by the Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1982. A review of the Act in 1991 has not led to any relaxation of the export ban.
However, the review recommended that government examine "the practical aspects of establishing a fully funded administrative control mechanism to allow strictly regulated commercial exports of a limited number of species of captivebred native birds which are not endangered or threatened". In making this recommendation, the report acknowledged there may be a case for highly regulated export of some native bird species.

Artificial Insemination Of Ewes With Frozen Semen, David Windsor
Artificial Insemination Of Ewes With Frozen Semen, David Windsor
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The judicious use of artificial insemination (Al) of ewes with frozen semen by ram breeders offers substantial gains for wool producers, but it promises even greater benefits if it can be used more widely within commercial breeding flocks.
In the Western Australian dairy industry, for example, genetic gains between 1971 and /986 are estimated to have been three times as great in herds bred by Al as in herds that were mated naturally.

Choosing Shower Dips For Sheep Lice, Tony Higgs, Bob Love
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The performance of all shower dip chemicals for sheep lice can vary depending on the active chemical and the conditions under which they are used.
Department of Agriculture trials have indicated that the wettable powders coumaphos and magnesium fluorosilicate were less effective at eradicating sheep lice than were synthetic pyrethroid and organophosphate dipping chemicals.
However, failure to eradicate sheep lice may be the result of several factors, many of them related to management.
