Once the collective catch hits these limits, fishing for these species must cease for the season."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2020","history":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2020/history","analysis":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2020/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2020/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2020/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/bass-strait-central-zone-scallop-fishery-total-allowable-catch-determination-2020/documents"}}
