The Board of Fisheries for New South Wales was established on 27 March 1903 under section four of the Fisheries Act 1902 (Act No.119, 1902), replacing the Commissioners of Fisheries. As with the Commissioners, the Board was a corporate body and was vested with the same duty as the Commissioners, that is to protect, develop, and regulate the fisheries of New South Wales. The duties, powers, and authority of the Board extended to the territorial limits of the State. As a result of the continuing problems with the Board’s administration of fisheries, a new Fisheries Act was introduced. Section two of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act, 1910 (Act No.14, 1910) dissolved the Board of Fisheries for New South Wales and the powers, duties, and authorities of the Board were now vested in the Chief (Colonial) Secretary, who was the responsible Minister. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
