Marine Scalefish Fishery

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development. Can the minister inform the chamber, following her decision to allocate additional quota units in the marine scalefish fishery, what is now the total allowable commercial catch in kilograms, by zone and by species?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:40): I appreciate the honourable member's question. I must say that I perhaps misheard her previous question; I assumed she was referring to the total allowable commercial catch. I'm happy to check whether those two pieces of information are publicly available. My understanding is that all the information I have has been published and is therefore accessible, but I will check that and come back to the chamber if I am mistaken.
