Richey Fishing Company – Australian Salmon December 2018

Application on ecological sustainability

About the application

The current export approval for the Richey Fishing Company – Australian Salmon is valid until 14 February 2019 and the fishery is now due for assessment for ongoing export accreditation. The Department of the Environment and Energy received an application, Richey Fishing Company-Australian Salmon – Application 2018, from Richey Fishing Co Pty Ltd in December 2018. The application has been prepared to address the Australian Government ‘Guidelines for the ecologically sustainable management of fisheries – 2nd edition’ and to provide updates on the implementation of recommendations made in the original Australian Government assessment. The application will be used to assess the operation of the fishery for the purposes of Parts 13 and 13A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

Consideration will be given to:

• declaring the Richey Fishing Company – Australian Salmon, as managed consistent with the Living Resources Management Act 1995 (TAS) as an approved wildlife trade operation under section 303FN of the EPBC Act, and
• including in the list of exempt native specimens, specimens harvested in the Richey Fishing Company – Australian Salmon, as managed consistent with the Living Resources Management Act 1995 (TAS).

In accordance with the provisions of sections 303FR and 303DC of the EPBC Act, you are invited to comment on this proposal.
