Catch history
51 Catch history
The catch history of a person is (subject to the regulations) to be determined under and in accordance with the criteria specified by the Minister in the public notice inviting eligible persons to apply for shares.
The criteria are to specify the period before the fishery becomes a share management fishery during which the catch history of a person is to be determined. The criteria may allow persons to choose their best catch history for a specified part of the relevant period.
(Repealed)
The catch history of a person is, subject to any appeal under this Part, to be determined by the Minister having regard to the records, kept by the Secretary, of fish taken by the person or such other documents as are prescribed by the regulations.
The Minister may increase the catch history of a person for any period during which the person was unable to engage in the person’s usual fishing activities because of the person’s duties as a representative of the commercial fishing industry.
