27 TAC determination for gemfish in 2019/2020

(1) A determination of the total allowable catch for gemfish (Rexea solandri) in the ocean trap and line and ocean trawl fisheries jointly is required to be made for the 2019/2020 fishing period.

Note.

Under section 40C (3) of the Act, the Minister may direct either the TAF Committee or the Secretary to make the fishing determination (subject to some limitations).

(2) The Secretary is required to allocate the total allowable catch of gemfish in the ocean trap and line and ocean trawl fisheries for the 2019/2020 fishing period among holders of ocean trap and line—gemfish quota shares.

Note.

Quota is not to be allocated to holders of gemfish quota shares in the ocean trawl fishery for the 2019/2020 fishing period. From the end of the 2019/2020 fishing period, the determination of the total allowable catch of gemfish will apply to the ocean trap and line fishery only.

(3) The whole of a fishing determination is not required to be allocated.

(4) The allocation is to be made in proportion to the number of ocean trap and line—gemfish quota shares held by each holder of those shares.

(5) In this clause, 2019/2020 fishing period means the period starting on 1 May 2019 and ending on 30 April 2020.
