    Greg Holmes got a reaction from bigkingie in QLD govt Spanish Mackeral Fishery working group = Closures and lockouts   
    The Qld. Govt. already has a "Coral Reef Fin Fish" closure in place each year from which Spanish mackerel are exempt. It would be easy to introduce a closure for this species during their spawning season (November December) when they congregate in masses at the reefs off Townsville (Rib, Britomart, Trunk, Bramble)  and are targeted by professionals, who take 90% of their years catch (usually several tonnes of fillet). Keep taking out spawning fish, and there will no stock left-simple!
