Mulloway Roadmap

Currently

• Mulloway are classified as ‘depleted’ in NSW. Stocks are low, but juveniles and adults are around.
• All fishers can help protect and rebuild Mulloway stocks to ‘sustainable’ levels by fishing responsibly.
• Be aware of Mulloway rules, including legal-size, bag limit, and fishing gear restrictions.
• Help protect juveniles by changing locations or fishing
  techniques to avoid incidental catch.
• Compliance operation ‘Mulloway Assist’ is also promoting
  education and compliance around fishing rules.

In Development

• Recreational, commercial, and Aboriginal fishers are
  working with DPI and independent experts to develop a
  Harvest Strategy for Mulloway.
• The Harvest Strategy will include comprehensive
  monitoring and management actions to rebuild Mulloway
  stocks. All stakeholders can have input when released
  for public consultation.
• DPI is also developing other supporting measures,
  including new research on Mulloway biology, and ways to
  improve reporting and harvest information.

A Positive Future

• Mulloway are an important species for recreational, commercial and Aboriginal fishers, with many social,
  economic and cultural benefits for fishers and the
  community.
• The Mulloway Harvest Strategy will support continued
  rebuilding and future health of Mulloway stocks.
• Actions taken by all stakeholders both now and in the
  future will help secure a positive future for Mulloway in
  NSW.
