This instrument fixes the total allowable catch (TAC) for tropical rock lobster (kaiar) in the Torres Strait TRL fishery for the season 1 December 2025 to 30 September 2026: it states 200,000 kg (unprocessed) and then increases that TAC to 268,852.5 kg. It applies to participants in the TRL fishery, takes effect the day after registration and ceases on 1 October 2026; its practical effect is to constrain harvest volumes and therefore commercial catch opportunities for that season.
