WA ROCK LOBSTER FISHERY
I note the minister’s recent announcements regarding the closure of both A and C, and now, I think, B, zones of the WA rock lobster fishery, which coincided with those fisheries meeting their total allowable catch limit. When does the minister expect the WA rock lobster fishery to come under formal quota management? Hon NORMAN MOORE

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. On 1 April 2010, I announced my in-principle support for the West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery to move to quota management from the 2010–11 season.
