This instrument updates export rules under the EPBC Act for the Joint Authority Southern Demersal Gillnet and Demersal Longline Managed Fishery by removing the 2009 conditions and replacing them with two rules: exported fish/invertebrates must be lawfully taken under WA law, and the exemption expires 31 August 2012.

It affects commercial fishers and exporters in that WA fishery by providing a limited March–August 2012 window to export without individual federal permits.
