This is a multi-species profile for the Pristipomoides species (jobfishes). Jobfishes are not separated by species in official catch records and are lumped with snappers (kakap data). FAO production dataset has separated data for jobfishes (but all species lumped) (FAO 2022). In the official stock assessment, all jobfishes species are collectively grouped into the 'reef fish group'. This profile may undergo restructuring in the future as new information comes to light.
This profile refers to Ary Bay, Arafura Sea and Eastern of Timor Sea (WPP-718) management unit.
