asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry if he will consider extending the snap net fishing season to 15 August.
Written Answers. - Snap Net Fishing Season.
86.
The Southern Fisheries Region is the only region where snap net fishing is carried out. The close season in the Southern Fisheries Region for commercial salmon fishing, which includes snap net fishing, commences on 1 August and because of conservation considerations I do not propose to alter that date.
