Fisheries management papers

The Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee (RLIAC) in reviewing management arrangements for the rock lobster fishery, were concerned with two principle objectives: 1.

That the management arrangements adopted would properly take into account market requirements in order to maximise returns to fishermen from an appropriate level of catch.
