Penguin News invited Member of Legislative Assembly Teslyn Barkman who holds the portfolio for Fisheries to comment on the up coming season:
“It’s a good start with reports of healthy catches on the high seas. Ilex can always be a bit trickier to predict as the squid immigrates in to our zone in groups but I’m feeling positive from the early news,” she said.
