I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) In the past 12 months 36 675 licences were issued, but that includes umbrella licences, which, as the member knows, cover all licensed recreational fisheries: rock lobster, abalone, marron, south west freshwater angling and netting. (2) It was 308 tonnes. (3) The total catch estimate for the recreational rock lobster fishery is calculated through an annual mail survey of a subset of licence holders and a voluntary phone-logbook diary survey.
