PROTECTED<br />

In Western Australia, fish are protected by fishing rules<br />

and regulati<strong>on</strong>s, including bag and size limits, to ensure<br />

PROTECTED<br />

there will be fish for the future. The excepti<strong>on</strong>s are<br />

bait fish (pilchards, scaly mackerel, whitebait,<br />

anchovies and hardyheads) and feral freshwater<br />

species like carp, tilapia, goldfish and redfin perch.<br />

For bag and size limit informati<strong>on</strong> go to www.fish.wa.gov.au<br />

or pick up a regi<strong>on</strong>al Recreati<strong>on</strong>al <strong>Fishing</strong> Guide at your<br />

nearest <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fisheries</strong>’ <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />

Some fish are totally protected because they are low<br />

in number, are under threat from overfishing or are highly<br />

valued by the marine tourism industry. If caught, they<br />

must be returned immediately to the water.<br />
