摘要：Increases in efficiency due to modern electronic equipment, improved fishing vessels and
knowledge about the grounds and lobster behaviour, have all led to western rock lobster fishers
becoming more efficient at catching western rock lobsters in Western Australia. One of the
outcomes of these increases in efficiency has been an increase in pressure on the breeding
stock. Managers have responded by introducing measures to protect the breeders. In 1993,
this involved the imposition of measures to limit the exploitation of mature female lobsters
by introducing a legal maximum size for females as well as the protection of setose (mature)
females.
