•       correct obsolete references in regulation 32 of the Management Regulations, to regulation 33 of the Management Regulations, all of which relate to requirements to use logbooks. This correction is consequent upon the amendment of regulation 33 (among others) by the Fisheries Management Regulations (Amendment), No 455 of 1992.

Details of the proposed Regulations, which commenced on gazettal, are set out below:

Regulation 1 provides for the amendment of the Management Regulations.
