Rules
Protected species. Do not take. If you encounter or accidentally catch a protected species, you must return it to where you found it regardless of whether it is dead or alive. Current research indicates Maugean skate numbers are low and it is vulnerable to capture in gillnets in Macquarie Harbour on the west coast.
Habitat
The Maugean skate is only found in the estuarine waters of Macquarie and Bathurst Harbours on the west and south west coasts of Tasmania.
