The first Commissioners of Fisheries were appointed on 19 April 1881 under the Fisheries Act of 1881 (Act 44 Vic. No.26). The Commissioners were responsible for the protection, development, and regulation of the public fisheries of New South Wales. Prior to the Commissioners’ appointment, the administration of fisheries was the responsibility of the Department of Lands. The Fisheries Act 1902 (Act No.119, 1902) remodelled the law relating to the Fisheries of the State, replacing the Commissioners of Fisheries with a Board of Fisheries on 27 March 1903. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
