Commercial Fishery Information for
Red Emperor (Lutjanus
sebae) & Sea Perch
|
Commercial Fishing for
Red Emperor:
 Red Emperor are
Wild caught. Coral
reef fish are caught by hook and line along the length of the Great Barrier Reef
from the Torres Strait south to Fraser Island, and from the inshore reefs to the
outer barrier reefs. The main targets for the line fishery are
coral trout,
red throat
emperor, Spanish mackerel and red emperor.
More than 125 fish species are caught in the reef line
fishery, but only a few of them are targeted. These include coral trout species
Plectropomus spp., red throat emperor Lethrinus miniatus, Spanish mackerel
Scomberomorus commerson, red emperor Lutjanus sebae and several cod species.
Many other species are not targeted but are caught
incidentally and kept by fishers. These include tropical snappers such as
stripey sea perch
Lutjanus carponotatus,
hussar Lutjanus adetti, Moses sea perch Lutjanus russelli,
rosy jobfish
Pristipomoides filamentosus,
goldband snapper
Pristipomoides multidens, large-mouthed nannygai Lutjanus malabaricus and
small-mouthed nannygai Lutjanus erythropterus. These fish are called by-product

 Recovery Rate
Fillets: 38% from whole red emperor
Red Emperor are caught commercially by demersal and semi-pelagic otter
trawls, traps, droplines and deepwater handlines. They are also longlined in
Queensland. The fisheries operate all year.
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).
Red emperor is a type
of seaperch. Despite its entrenched name, it is not an
emperor (Lethrinus spp). Crimson seaperch (Lutjanus
erythropterus) or saddletail seaperch (Lutjanus malabaricus) are
sometimes incorrectly sold as red emperor
