Declaration
:
: In Western Australia, the Animal Welfare Act 2002 does not require the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) to obtain a permit to use animals for scientific purposes unless the species are outside the provisions of the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 and Fish Resources Management Regulations 1995. Nonetheless, all sampling was undertaken in strict adherence to the DPIRD Policy for the handling, use and care of marine fauna for research purposes. Samples were collected under the Commonwealth Government Permits AU-COM2018-420 and AU-COM2020-472, and Australian Marine Park Activity Permit PA2019-00095-1.
