I got a feeling this will happen in Victoria a 3-5 years ban on snapper fishing, soon
Our stocks appear to be fine, increasing the minimum size to a point that all fish that can legally be kept have had a chance to breed at least once would be one thing we could do now that may increase stocks further.

If things got drastic it'd be better to try banning fishing from important breeding areas first to avoid people cutting a swathe through large aggregations of fish.

Banning fishing for them altogether is a last resort, I'm not sure what the situation is in SA but you'd have to think things are pretty dire for a politician to be willing to **** that many people off.
I think their are after some vote from PETA and the vegan. I understand if the situation is serious it then show be ban. Did Victoria gov ban snapper fishing in the past?
It's got nothing to do with PETA. There's no votes to be had pandering to them, if anything it's the other way around with the recent farm invasion legislation.
Well when they finish with farm and hunter who their going to come after next?
Irrelevant to the point in hand mate, 4 litres is quite correct, there is no political advantage overall to be taken from this move. It seems like a an act of desperation to be honest.

I personally don't take pinkies or flathead unless they are 30cm min, under that they are to small.

I don't know how true this is but I remember reading an article not long ago from fisheries news and apparently a 28cm snapper is old enough to have at least been through one breeding cycle.

Correct. Size limits are made so that the average fish of that size has spawned at least once. Some may have spawned twice, others once and some not at all they base it off a average.

SA fisheries are in the same problem as their electricity supply and PIRSA are the only ones to blame for sheer mismanagement. We won't have the same issues here especially now we're putting significant effort into shellbed reef restorations and have provented large scale commercial fishing that dredges the bottom for 2 decades.

You can not have an almost encouraged slaughterfest post the closed month that made the worst of tea tree look like a tiny dent, alongside an unabated commercial bait fishery to prop up the supposed sustainable tuna growth farming when combined with mass dredging of vital larvae growth grounds in the form of prawn trawling without expecting biomass collapses.

Just my opinion but I'd like to see a minimum in the vicinity of 30 to 35 cm... and harsher penalties for under size fish kept.

A good start would be reducing the current limit of 10 to 5, and absolutely slamming people who take undersize/over bag. An increase in size limit would be no bad thing either.
What if they ban right now, and everyone just have high snapper fever. You don't to snapper for 5 years.
Lots of people would be going crazy with snapper fever Jason.

i think they should put a cut of where if a fish is over 80cm you have to through it back because they're the big breeders.

Does the science back that up for Snapper?
