A seafood company says new fishing regulation proposals will hopefully reflect the leap in the industry's technology.  

The Government's wanting public consultation on changes to the Fisheries Act.  

It would allow catch limits to be more readily extended or reduced, and let boats with cameras installed, dump unwanted catch at sea. 

Egmont Seafoods owner Keith Mawson told Francesca Rudkin parts of the system haven't changed for 40 years, but their technology's come a long way since then.
