In April 2014, the Minister for Primary Industries proposed making an Order to authorise fishing for Murray Crayfish in accordance with daily bag and size limits, location and seasonal closures.
A Species Impact Statement assessing the impact of the activities was prepared.
The Department of Primary Industries invited written submissions on the proposed Order from 2 April to 2 May 2014.
All submissions were considered before the final Order was made.
The final Order permits fishing for Murray Crayfish in accordance with controls under the Fisheries Management Act 1994
