TARFish recreational fisher survey
TARFish, the independent peak body representing Tasmania's recreational fishers, is undertaking a survey on fishing behaviours and interests.
Funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC), the research aims to gather information about the types of recreational fishers in Tasmania, how they fish, what they value and care about when it comes to fishing.
