An alliance of commercial and recreational fishers is lobbying the State Government to overturn restrictions on shark fishing in WA's north and claims "rapidly growing numbers" are a threat to fish stocks.

The former Labor government introduced restrictions from North West Cape to the Northern Territory border in 2005 after shark numbers declined.

Species protected were mainly blacktip and sandbar sharks, though others such as tiger and lemon sharks were also affected.

But fishermen say stocks have not only recovered in the past 10 years but also may be in excess of the so-called carrying capacity of the local marine environment.
