New regulations have been introduced to prohibit the take of eastern and western blue groper by all fishing methods.
Blue gropers were reportedly common in east Gippsland in the 1960-70s but numbers were drastically reduced by fishing. This reef fish have recently been spotted by divers in Port Phillip Bay, indicating that numbers are recovering.
Blue gropers are a great attraction for recreational divers and increased numbers would boost eco-tourism and dive industries.
The large blue males are friendly and inquisitive fish, making them particularly vulnerable to spear-fishing.
The no-catch limit provides immediate protection for 12 months from April 2011.
Most recreational and commercial fishers do not target blue groper, with the exception of some spear-fishers who occasionally take the fish.
Blue gropers are also afforded a high level of protection from fishing in New South Wales and South Australia.

官网上看到的：“Taking or attempting to take, including catch and release, is prohibited.”
关键是 attempting to take is prohibited 这怎么可能实现呢？G要偷饵，上面的人能怎么办？？难道看见G浮出水面就剪线么？
