Fishing Industry

In reply to Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (25 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I have been advised:

The Finfish Harvest Strategy contained within the Management Plan for the South Australian Commercial Lakes and Coorong Fishery 2022aims to manage fishing to sustainable levels through setting a total allowable commercial effort (TACE) for the finfish sector. The harvest strategy does this by way of restricting the number of net units that are able to be set at any one time in the fishery on a Lakes and Coorong Fishery licence. This is in contrast to some other commercial fisheries whereby an annual total allowable commercial catch (TACC) may be established. Based on the performance indicators of the harvest strategy, the TACE has been set at 100 per cent of the allocated net units in the Lakes and Coorong Fishery, for the current and previous three years.
