    Summary of estimates of recent trends in abalone poaching
    (2011) Maharaj, G; Butterworth, Doug S
    Preliminary analyses using three separate indices to estimate the trend in poaching suggest that the target of a 15% per annum reduction commencing October 2009 in poaching has not been reached. In fact, all indices suggest an increase in poaching. The 15% per annum decline was the key criterion for rebuilding the abalone resource and was amongst the conditions set by the Minister associated with reopening the fishery.
