Tasmanian scalefish fishery assessment 2010/12

The Tasmanian scalefish fishery is a multi-species fishery operating in State fishing waters and encompassing a wide variety of capture methods. The Scalefish Management Plan (renewed in 2004 and revised in 2009), provides the legislative rules and thus management framework for the fishery. Performance indicators and reference points set out in policy provide the framework to monitor the performance of the fishery in relation to catch and effort, and provide reference points against which the status of fish stocks can be assessed.
