FISHERIES

In reply to the Hon. M. PARNELL (16 May 2012).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women): I have been advised:

Significant efforts have been made by state governments and universities to improve understanding of the Lake Eyre Basin's river systems over the last decade, including the ecology of native fish populations.

An ecologically sustainable development risk assessment was undertaken in 2009 to inform development of the management plan for the Lake Eyre Basin fishery.

The participants involved in the stakeholder workshop to undertake the risk assessment, held by Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA), included the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, South Australian Research and Development Institute, Griffith University, Aquasave, the then Department for Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation, Attorney General's Department, South Australian Recreational Fishing Advisory Council and the commercial licence holder.

The risk assessment is available on request from PIRSA and is currently available on PIRSA's website.
