Abstract
This study, funded by the Fisheries
Research and Development Corporation
(Project 2011/024), is the first
comprehensive study of the fishery,
fisheries biology and markets for the
edible periwinkle, Lunella undulata.
Commercial catch and effort data, fisher
knowledge, and growth and reproductive
biology of periwinkles were integrated to
provide a robust foundation supporting
the management of the Tasmanian
fishery. In addition, an evaluation of
the domestic market for periwinkles,
including distributors, retail and restaurant
components identified a number of
impediments that need to be addressed
by suppliers (fishers) if market growth
and improved economic returns are to
be realised. In response to the findings
of this study, management rezoned the
fishery, raised the TACC and increased the
minimum size limit.
