Fishery Policy: Statements.
I subscribe to what Senator Kenneally said about the need for statistics and to know how many fish are travelling up river systems. It is easy enough to count them on a small river system, although the counters are not that accurate because fish travel downriver as well as upriver. It is much more difficult to count in an estuary, although it can be done. The conservation of stock is the essential issue and I commend the initiatives with regard to catchment management.
