Operation
The six-month SMART drumline trial at Kiama and Ulladulla ended on 2nd May, while the total number of SMART drumlines deployed daily at Ballina-Lennox Head increased from 15 to 20 on 4th May 2018. During May 2018, SMART drumlines were deployed for 17 days at Ballina-Lennox Head, 28 Evans Head, and two days at Kiama and Ulladulla. Environmental conditions determined how long SMART drumlines were deployed on any given day, ranging from 5:02h to 10:37h. On average, SMART drumlines were deployed daily for 8:20h at Ballina-Lennox Head, 9:05h at Kiama, 9:19h at Evans Head, and 10:00h at Ulladulla.
Total catches
During May 2018, three target sharks were caught (Table 1 and 2): one White Shark (female) from Ballina-Lennox Head; and two Bull Sharks (both female), one from each of Ballina-Lennox Head and Evans Head. No target sharks were caught at Kiama or Ulladulla.
A total of eight non-target animals were caught (Table 1 and 3), including three Smooth Hammerheads (Ballina-Lennox Head) and five Common Blacktip Sharks (3 Ballina-Lennox Head and 2 Evans Head).
All animals were released alive.
Comments
When the contractor responded to five alerts that had no catch, they found that two hooks had no bait, two hooks had the bait fully intact, and one hook had 50% of the bait remaining.
One SMART drumline failed to set off an alert at Boulders Beach, Ballina on 28 May 2018. When the contractor arrived at the drumline for retrieval at the end of the day, a Smooth Hammerhead was found alive on the line (Table 1). It was tagged and released immediately.
All other caught animals triggered an alert to the DPI contractors who responded and were at the SMART drumline within an average of 19 minutes.
