New South Wales regulation
The Order declares recreational fishers may take and possess southern bluefin tuna, but only if they comply with any requirements made by or under the Fisheries Management Act 1994. It does not set technical limits itself; enforcement and the substantive rules (limits, permits, fees, reporting) remain to agencies acting under the Act, so practical effects depend on those secondary instruments.
