The 2012 Torres Strait Prawn Fishery handbook aims to provide Torres Strait Prawn Fishery (TSPF) licence holders with the latest management, logbook and scientific information available on the TSPF. The 2012 Handbook has been compiled by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) in conjunction with Fisheries Queensland (under the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation; DEEDI) to inform and assist prawn fishers and licence holders in their fishing operations. The handbook provides an update on the status of the fishery and recent developments. A detailed background and history of the TSPF can be obtained from the TSPF strategic assessment, previous TSPF handbooks and the Torres Strait Protected Zone Joint Authority (PZJA) annual report. Refer to the published report: Sachs P, Turnbull C, Jacobsen I and Cocking L. (2012) Torres Strait Prawn Fishery Handbook 2012. Australian Fisheries Management Authority. Canberra. 107pp.
