Registration of Fishing Vessels
Up to 31 December 1963 there was in operation a system of restrictive licensing of fishing vessels, directed by the Sea Fisheries Licensing Authority appointed under the Fisheries Amendment Act of 1945. Following extensive inquiry by a Parliamentary Select Committee in 1962, the licensing procedure was changed to one of registration and permit using management as basis for conservation of stocks.
