Think of it as a 'first come, first served' limit for the 2005 season.\n\n**The bottom line:**\n- **Catch limit:** 1,000 tonnes of commercial scallops (combined total for all fishers)\n- **Who it affects:** Commercial fishers operating in the Bass Strait Central Zone Scallop Fishery\n- **When it applies:** From 1 May 2005 to 20 December 2005\n- **The legal mechanism:** Made under the *Fisheries Management Act 1991* and the *Bass Strait Central Zone Scallop Fishery Management Plan 2002*\n\n**Why it matters:** Once the collective catch hits 1,000 tonnes, the fishery closes for the season. This 'total allowable catch' approach prevents overfishing by ensuring the scallop population isn't depleted beyond sustainable levels. It's a straightforward quota system—AFMA sets the number, and once it's caught, fishing stops."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/determination-of-total-allowable-catch-no-bsczsfd-01","history":"/api/acts/determination-of-total-allowable-catch-no-bsczsfd-01/history","analysis":"/api/acts/determination-of-total-allowable-catch-no-bsczsfd-01/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/determination-of-total-allowable-catch-no-bsczsfd-01/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/determination-of-total-allowable-catch-no-bsczsfd-01/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/determination-of-total-allowable-catch-no-bsczsfd-01/documents"}}
