By restricting the total number of machines that can be used across the entire fishery, the rule helps maintain healthy squid populations. These limits are typically reviewed and reset annually based on scientific assessments."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/southern-squid-jig-fishery-total-allowable-effort-determination-2020","history":"/api/acts/southern-squid-jig-fishery-total-allowable-effort-determination-2020/history","analysis":"/api/acts/southern-squid-jig-fishery-total-allowable-effort-determination-2020/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/southern-squid-jig-fishery-total-allowable-effort-determination-2020/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/southern-squid-jig-fishery-total-allowable-effort-determination-2020/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/southern-squid-jig-fishery-total-allowable-effort-determination-2020/documents"}}
