Crimson
Seaperch | Red Snapper (Lutjanus erythropterus) Commercial Fishery
|
Commercial Fishing for Red Snapper | Crimson Seaperch:
 Wild caught, Some species, such as golden seaperch (Lutjanus
johnii), show potential for aquaculture.
The Red Snapper is also
known as crimson snapper, red snapper, saddletail
seaperch, scarlet snapper, seaperch (Qld, NT)
Lutjanus erythropterus is
found in Indo-West Pacific: Gulf of Oman to southeast Asia,
north to southern Japan, south to northern Australia. This
species has been referred to as Lutjanus malabaricus or Lutjanus
altifrontalis by many recent authors. Occurrence in the Red Sea
needs confirmation.
Commercial operators are authorised to use baited traps
and vertical lines, including hand lines and drop lines. Prior to 1999, most
operators in the fishery used drop lines. During 1999-2000, there was an
industry-wide change to trap fishing, with only one operator using drop lines in
2002. In 2004, there was a reversal of this trend when many operators went back
to drop lines; but by 2009, most operators were again using traps. In 2010, one
vessel used drop lines and six vessels used traps, reflecting the developing
nature of the wider fishery grounds.
Catch
Gold-band snappers are the principal target of the fishery, comprising the three
species Pristipomoides multidens, P. typus and P. filamentosus. Together, they
comprise 52% of the total catch (Figure 2), with P. multidens being the most
common. Other key species caught in the fishery are saddle-tail snapper (Lutjanus
malabaricus), crimson snapper (L. erythropterus), red emperor (L. sebae) and
cods (Family Serranidae) (Figure 2). There was very little change in 2010 in the
species composition from 2009.
Byproduct species made up 9% of the overall catch in the fishery. As well as red
emperor (Lutjanus sebae), byproduct species include small snappers (such as L.
russelli and L. lemniscatus) rock cods (such as Epinephelus areolatus), emperors
(such as red spot emperor, Lethrinus lentjan) and Robinson’s sea bream (Gymnocranius
grandoculus).
Finfish Trawl Fishery
The principal species landed in the Finfish Trawl Fishery are red snappers (Lutjanus
malabaricus and L. erythropterus). Products from this fishery are marketed
primarily as whole fresh fish, mostly on the Australian domestic market.
