Crayfish Stock Assesment At Queenscliff, Vic
#3
Theoretically, no limit, but off course with limitations.



The actual wording of the invitation has the followings.



"The 2005 assessments are approaching fast and I am inviting rock lobster and giant crab access license holders/operators, recreational and environmental stakeholders, managers and industry representatives to participate in these workshops. Previously, nominations to attend the assessments were sought only from the peak bodies".



In essence they have opened it up to all commercial fisherman and operators and subsequently recreationals as well, since 2003.



I've rung David Hobday and while the meeting (or venue) can't accomodate big numbers, it is open to the public. The target participants are those who can contribute on a personal or group level as to crayfish numbers or changes seen over the past season(s). Normally, the total number of attendees was in the order of 20-30 of which there may be 2 possibly 3 recreational people. Best I can say is for those interested to register or contact David for more details.



For those who can't make it I would welcome any feedback that can be presented on their behalf. It doesn't have to be how many you caught because how many you didn't or couldn't catch or keep (Eg. too small, weather to rough, late winter, over potted, bad viz etc), help give an overall picture of the fishery from their point of view.
