Tasmania regulation
This order lists which freshwater species count as “applicable fish” for Division 1 of Part 4 of the Inland Fisheries Act 1995: eels, whitebait, any acclimatised fish and any imported fish (s4). It thus determines which statutory rules in that Division apply. Regulators (departmental authorities) decide compliance and enforcement; fishers, traders and businesses face any compliance costs or behavioural changes required by Division 1. The order relies on definitions in the Act (s3(2)) and is administered by the Department of Environment and Land Management.
