Australia negotiates a national allocation each year to ensure the fishery remains sustainable. This legal instrument formally declares that allocation for the season, giving fishers certainty about how much they can legally catch and helping prevent overfishing of the stock.\n\n**Legal context:**\nThis determination is made under the *Fisheries Management Act 1991* and the *Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery Management Plan 1995*, which establish the framework for managing this fishery."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determinati","history":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determinati/history","analysis":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determinati/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determinati/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determinati/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determinati/documents"}}
