AFMA may release data on specific returns in connection with the investigation and prosecution of offences against the Fisheries Management Act 1991 and associated legislation or under a court order.
Who must complete this Catch Disposal Record?
Part A and B must be completed by the fishing concession holder (the holder), or an authorised agent, for any boat in respect of which a fishing concession has been issued which requires the completion of this Catch Disposal Record.
- an authorised agent is a person who has been nominated by the holder to complete
logbook documents on behalf of the holder. The holder must complete and lodge with
AFMA the appropriate nomination form.
Note: all further references in this Catch Disposal Record to holder/s should be taken to also be a reference to an authorised agent.
