Primary Industry: III - Fisheries

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

Fisheries law in Australia is dominated by Commonwealth, State and Territory legislation, and the regulations, orders and rules passed under that legislation. Case law in this area is largely confined to the interpretation of statutes or the review of administrative decisions. In addition, some vestiges of English law continue to have relevance to this area. Finally, Australia's fisheries regime is influenced by Australia's international obligations with respect to fishing and the marine environment, which are contained in a plethora of multilateral, regional and bilateral agreements.
