herring cale, Odax cyanomelas Justin Gilligan, New South Wales In most Australian states recreation­al gillnets are now illegal. However, in Tasmania gillnets or graball nets – due to their non-selective nature – can still be set for six hours at a time. This marblefish and herring cale are likely to be released from this net as dead bycatch.
