ABALONE season in Western Australia has almost claimed another life, with only the swift actions of a beach inspector saving a 50-year old man at Trigg Beach in Perth.
The fisherman was spotted unconscious in the water at 7.30am (WST) and dragged to shore by the City of Stirling beach inspector.
The inspector performed emergency resuscitation on the man both in the water and on shore, City of Stirling beach services manager John Snook said.
After reviving the fisherman, he was taken by ambulance for further treatment.
The dramatic rescue is the latest disaster to strike an abalone fisherman in Perth, with two having already died since November.
In late December, a Chinese man in his 40s drowned in the waters near Cape Leeuwin in the state's southwest while diving for the marine delicacy.
And in November, a 20-year-old Malaysian was swept out to sea in treacherous conditions while on an abalone hunt north of Perth.
The man was caught in a strong rip in Yanchep Lagoon, 55 kilometres north of Perth, and was swept away.
He had been with a group searching for the expensive delicacy on the first day of the heavily restricted recreational fishing season.
The disaster triggered calls for metropolitan abalone fishing spots to be closed in dangerous weather.
Sunday is the third official day of the abalone season, with an hour on the first Sunday of every month from November to March set aside for fisherman to legally collect the large edible sea snails.
The fisherman was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, where he is said to be in a critical condition.
