Sawfish catch data in Northern Australia

Logbook and observer data were obtained from state agencies WA Fisheries, NT DBIRD, QDPI, Logbook and observer data for fisheries in commonwealth waters were collected from AFMA and CMR - Hobart. Visits were also made to Museums to gather catch records and measure and photograph sawfish remains. This dataset is the result of a desktop study carried out by J. Giles whilst based at Cleveland. The spatial and biological catch data on sawfish was obtained from as many sources as possible in northern Australia; including commercial fisheries, research and recreational sectors and historical data sets. This also includes morphometric data on sawfish and rostra held in public and private collections.

本研究所需的渔捞日志与观察员数据，分别取自西澳大利亚州渔业局（WA Fisheries）、北领地DBIRD（NT DBIRD）与昆士兰州初级产业部（QDPI）；联邦水域渔业的渔捞日志与观察员数据，则由澳大利亚渔业管理局（AFMA）及霍巴特CMR（CMR - Hobart）采集。研究团队亦走访多家博物馆，收集锯鳐（sawfish）捕捞记录，并对馆藏锯鳐遗骸开展测量与拍照工作。本数据集为J·贾尔斯（J. Giles）驻场克利夫兰（Cleveland）期间开展的桌面研究成果。本次研究通过澳大利亚北部地区尽可能多的渠道，获取锯鳐捕捞的空间分布与生物学相关数据，数据来源涵盖商业渔业、科研与休闲渔业领域，以及历史数据集。数据集同时包含馆藏于公共与私人机构的锯鳐及其吻锯（rostra）的形态测量数据。
