Abalone fishing in Western Australia opens on Saturday in designated areas from Busselton Jetty to Greenough River Mouth, with safety warnings issued following 118 rescues last season. Surf lifesavers will monitor popular sites as thousands of fishers participate in the first of four sessions until February. Fisheries officers will enforce size and bag limits, urging accurate measurement of catches before removal. The next sessions are scheduled for January 10, February 7, and February 21, weather permitting.
