The environment department said the government had opposed the move because research indicated the population found in Australian waters “does not regularly migrate outside of Australian waters, and as such, does not meet the CMS definition of migratory”. These sharks tend to reside in coastal and continental shelf waters of southern Australia. While they're not known to be aggressive, they are potentially dangerous to humans. Grey nurse sharkWestern Australia – Recreational (Management methods) A recreational fishing from boat licence is required for recreational fishing from a powered vessel in Western Australia. Reproduction:Gummy sharks reach reproductive maturity at 4-5 years of age, with males maturing at a smaller size than females. Females are ovoviviparous.

Grey to greyish-brown above, often with small white spots which may or may not be very conspicuous. Gummy sharks are one of the more highly targeted fish for human consumption. [12] Gummy shark meat is often marketed as " flake" in southern Australia. Their boneless fillets have made them particularly popular within the fish and chips industry throughout Australia. [1] Although gummy sharks have not been over-fished, they inhabit many of the same areas as school (snapper) sharks which have an established bycatch quota. This means fishers targeting gummy shark cannot have an adverse impact on the school shark population. [2] Due to new fishing gear, the growth rate of gummy sharks between three and seven years of age have decreased. However, gummy sharks around the age of two are least affected by fisheries. [13] This species is also of least concern in terms of endangerment according to the IUCN Red List, which is an extensive list of species that organizes where they fall on the endangered scale from "least concern" (LC) to "extinct" (EX). [1] According to SharkSmart, roughly one hundred gummy sharks are tagged with internal acoustic tags in Western Australia to yield information about possible migration and travel habits. [4] Next, make sure you’ve got appropriate gear. I’ve outlined what we use here at I’m Hooked Fishing. You might choose to use different gear, but be certain you’ve got stuff that’s strong enough to hand the power of a shark. There’s lots to tell, so I’ll take you through it one bit at a time What are the best places to catch sharks in Victoria?These sharks live in the eastern Indian Ocean, notably in southern Australia. Other places where the gummy shark lives include Western Australia through the Bass Strait to Tasmania and northern New South Wales, and on the coast of Japan. They stay in inshore and offshore waters, preferring the sandy bottom of the ocean floor. Younger sharks will form small colonies around southern Australia however, whether or not these are nurseries remains unknown. Behavior Gummy sharks are an oceanicspecies which is known to travel longdistances. They can be located ina wide range of water depths andcan quite comfortably enter waterless than a metre deep in shallowbays and coastal beaches, especiallyunder the cover of darkness. Theyare commonly found in deep waterchannels. Walker, T.I. 1992. A fishery simulation model for sharks applied to the gummy shark, Mustelus antarcticus Günther, from southern Australian waters.
