Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This declaration brings the Great Australian Bight Trawl Fishery under the fish receiver permit system.

What this means:

Anyone who buys or receives fish directly from boats operating in this fishery must hold a special permit (a "fish receiver permit")
This applies to fish buyers, processors, and wholesalers—not the fishers themselves
The requirement helps the Australian Fisheries Management Authority track how much fish is caught and ensure fishing stays within sustainable limits

Why it matters: This is a technical but important step. Without this declaration, the permit rules wouldn't apply to this specific fishery. It ensures that anyone receiving catch from the Great Australian Bight Trawl Fishery is properly licensed and accountable to fisheries regulators.
