      Fish Aggregation Devices (FADs) (DPIRD-102)

      Location and current status of fish aggregation devices (FADs) along the West Australian Coastline. Fish aggregation devices (FADs) are seasonally deployed and retrieved from Broome to Albany as a support to the recovery of the West Coast Demersal Scale Fish Resource. The function of a FAD is to attract baitfish, which use the device as a shelter and in turn attract pelagic fish (IE. Mahi-mahi, tuna and marlin) for recreational fishers to target.
