- Salmon farmers in Tasmania’s Macquarie Harbour could be required to stock fewer fish—or potentially stop farming there—if proposed protections for the endangered Maugean skate lead to substantial new controls. For the skate, the stakes are its only confirmed surviving refuge. Neither outcome has been settled: scientific advisers have recommended critical-habitat protection, but the state has not declared it.
