Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You need to know about the registers for quota management stocks. The chief executive keeps two types of registers: the Quota Register and the Annual Catch Entitlement Register. You will find a separate Annual Catch Entitlement Register for each fishing year. The chief executive can store the registers on a computer. The registers can be kept with other registers required by the Fisheries Act 1996. The Crown owns the information in the Quota Register and the Annual Catch Entitlement Register. The government can make rules about how the registers work, including how to send and look at documents and information electronically, as stated in section 297.
