These caps—called **total allowable catches**—are designed to prevent overfishing and keep scallop populations healthy.\n\n**What it limits:**\n- **Commercial scallops** (*Pecten fumatus*): Maximum catch of 2,500 tonnes\n- **Doughboy scallops** (*Chlamys asperrimus*): Maximum catch of 100 tonnes\n\n**How it works:**\nOnce fishers collectively reach these tonnage limits, fishing for that scallop type must stop for the season. This ensures enough scallops remain in the water to breed and maintain the fishery for future years."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2009","history":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2009/documents"}}
