Even though it is a lengthy question, I am grateful it does not refer to phascogales! (1) (a) 570. The number of commercial licences issued for the 2001-02 season was 600; however 30 were inactive. (b) 676. (c) 782. (2) (a) 39 623. (b) 25 907. (c) 16 484 for the 1986-87 season. Computerised records have been maintained only since 1986-87. (3) (a) 56 887, as a consequence of the management package introduced in 1993-94. (b) 69 309, as a result of the 10 per cent permanent reduction. (c) 76 834 for 1986-87. (4) (a) 79 264. (b) 51 814. (c) 32 968 for 1986-87. Data collected by mail survey since 1986-87 indicates that of the number of licences issued for the years in question (4), 69 per cent fished for rock lobster in 2001-02, 77 per cent fished for rock lobster in 1991-92 and 83 per cent fished for rock lobster in 1986-87. The majority used rock lobster pots for fishing as opposed to diving.
