Reporting

Fishers are required to complete and submit Catch and Disposal Record (CDR) forms which involves the use of an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. Click on the cards below to access guidance documents.   

Masters can use Fish Eye online services – rock lobster to submit trip teturns instead of the existing paper CDR and IVR system. Alternatively, Masters can use CatchER to submit trip teturns.

Only one method can be used to complete each trip return. If you submit your pre-fishing nomination using Fish Eye online services you will also need to submit your pre-landing and post-landing nominations using Fish Eye online services. This is also the case if you start your trip return using CatchER or CDR/IVR.
