1 Name of Management Plan
  This Management Plan is the Western Tuna and Billfish Fishery Management Plan 2005.
Note   This Management Plan, made under the Fisheries Management Act 1991, manages only commercial fishing for tuna and billfish species in the fishery. However, the Plan requires the take of these species by other users of the fishery, such as recreational fishers, to also be taken into account.
