Fisheries Management Amendment (Threatened Species Conservation) Order (No 2)

1999

Explanatory note

Under the Act, listings and amendments to listings are to be made by the Minister by order on the recommendation of the Fisheries Scientific Committee. The object of this Order is to omit the honey blue-eye from Schedule 5 to the Fisheries Management Act 1994, as recommended by the Fisheries Scientific Committee. The Committee considers that, in light of its findings that the honey blue-eye has not been found to occur in New South Wales waters and has never been recorded in New South Wales, the species is ineligible for listing as a vulnerable species.
