Dear Fish Ecologists,
In Australia, there appears to have been a recent increase in the number of recreational fishing competitions run by corporations for promotional purposes, or by organisations for fund raising. Could you please advise me what is the status of regulation of these recreational fishing competitions in your state or country? If such competitions are regulated, what licences, fee structure and monitoring is in place? What additional conditions also apply to competitors in such competitions, other than standard input and output controls for the recreational fishery on which the competition is based?
To avoid unwanted traffic, please respond to me directly and I will post a summary of responses to the list.
Thankyou
Darren Cameron Queensland Fisheries Management Authority PO Box 344 Fortitude Valley QLD 4006 AUSTRALIA Fax (07) 322 51823 [log in to unmask]
