This instrument legally authorises when fishers can harvest scallops in this specific zone. Outside these dates, fishing for scallops in this area is not permitted under the management plan.\n\nThe instrument automatically expires on 1 January 2023, meaning a new determination would be needed for the 2023 season."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-fishing-season-determination-2022","history":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-fishing-season-determination-2022/history","analysis":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-fishing-season-determination-2022/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-fishing-season-determination-2022/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-fishing-season-determination-2022/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-fishing-season-determination-2022/documents"}}
