Results from rock lobster sampled from the Maria Island Zone by IMAS on 25 January 2018 indicate PST levels above the regulatory limit. This biotoxin zone therefore remains closed to taking rock lobster and setting pots or rings.

Further sampling will be undertaken within 10 days, with results anticipated in mid February.

For further details including images depicting the boundary lines go to the Biotoxin Fishery Events web page.
