under the

Fisheries Management Act 1994

I, the Minister for Fisheries, on the recommendation of the Fisheries Scientific Committee, make the following Order under section 220D of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.

Dated this 4th day of April 2001.

The Hon EDWARD OBEID, M.L.C.,

Minister for Fisheries

Explanatory note

Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 deals with the conservation of threatened species, populations and ecological communities of fish and marine vegetation. For the purposes of identification and classification, provision is made for the listing in Schedule 4 to the Act of endangered species, endangered populations, endangered ecological communities and species that are presumed to be extinct.

The object of this Order is to list the western New South Wales population of Mogurnda adspersa (purple spotted gudgeon) in Part 2 (Endangered populations) of Schedule 4 to the Act, as recommended by the Fisheries Scientific Committee. The Committee recommended the listing of the population in Part 2 of Schedule 4 to the Act because its numbers have been reduced to such a critical level that it is in immediate danger of extinction.

This Order is made under section 220D (Amendment of lists) of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
