108 Order for taking and removing, or destroying, non-indigenous fisheries resources or aquaculture fish
The chief executive may order an inspector to take and remove, or destroy, fisheries resources (the relevant fisheries resources).
The chief executive may make the order only if the chief executive is satisfied—
the relevant fisheries resources are—
non-indigenous fisheries resources; or
aquaculture fisheries resources; and
the relevant fisheries resources are a significant threat to other fisheries resources or a fish habitat; and
it is necessary or desirable for the relevant fisheries resources to be taken and removed, or destroyed.
The chief executive may make the order even though other fisheries resources, plants or other property may be destroyed.
The inspector must take the action necessary to comply with the order.
Compensation is payable for fisheries resources, plants or property taken and removed, or destroyed, under the order only if the chief executive decides that compensation should be payable in the circumstances of the particular case.
