Fisheries Management Paper No. 15 - Draft Management Plan For The Control Of Barramundi Gillnet Fishing In The Kimberley., R. S. Brown

The Committee recognises that the exploitation rate on the rock lobster stocks is very high and that this factor is a major importance in formulating the advice on management measures.
