Quota reports 

We set annual commercial harvest quotas for each of the 4 commercially harvested kangaroo species in each of the 15 commercial kangaroo management zones. These quotas establish the maximum number of kangaroos that can be harvested in each zone and are set at no more than 17% of the surveyed kangaroo population in each zone. More detail can be found in the quota reports below.
