Report summary
The Moreton Bay Beche-de-mer (BDM) Fishery has been a single-operator, developmental fishery since 2003. It operates within a Queensland Marine Park (Moreton Bay) and stringent harvest controls have been applied to the operator permit to maintain access to the area.
The conservative and precautionary harvest controls are based on regular and thorough sea cucumber resource assessments. Two species of sea cucumber are permitted for harvest, Holothuria scabra (sandfish) and Stichopus horrens (peanutfish). Peanutfish are not currently harvested in this fishery. The majority of product is exported to China and other Asian nations for consumption and for use in traditional Chinese medicines.
This report covers the 2006 calendar year.
