This study was requested by lobster fishermen in Victoria. Lobster fishermen wanted the Study because the manager of the fishery, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Victoria (DCNR), is proposing a reduction in fishing effort for the fishery.
The industry recognises the need to reduce fishing levels, but there are many ways in which this could be done and the industry requires advice about the pros and cons of each option from economic and financial viewpoints.
