For the purposes of section 15 (1) of the Act, a fish is a prohibited size fish if:
(a) in the case of a fish of a species specified in Column 1 of Table 1—the measurement of the fish is less than the minimum measurement specified opposite that species of fish in Column 2 of that Table, or
(b) in the case of a fish of a species specified in Column 1 of Table 2—the measurement of the fish is more than the maximum measurement specified opposite that species of fish in Column 2 of that Table.
For the purposes of section 15 (2) of the Act, the method of determining the measurement of any class of fish is as follows:
(a) except as provided by this subclause—the overall length of the fish is to be measured from the point of the snout to the tip of the tail,
(b) in the case of abalone—the diameter of the shell is to be measured along its longest axis,
(c) in the case of crab (other than spanner crab)—the length of the crab is to be measured along the body from the notch between the most protruding frontal teeth to the centre of the posterior margin of the carapace,
(d) in the case of spanner crab—the length of the spanner crab is to be measured along the body from the base of the orbital notch to the centre of the posterior margin of the carapace,
(e) in the case of freshwater spiny crayfish known as Murray or Murrumbidgee Crayfish—the length of the carapace of the crayfish is to be measured along the straight line from the posterior margin of the orbit (eye) socket to the centre of the posterior margin of the carapace,
(f) in the case of rock lobster—the length of the carapace of the rock lobster is to be measured along the straight line from the point of union of the second antennae to the centre of the posterior margin of the carapace (ignoring any hairs attached to the carapace),
(g) in the case of turban snail—the diameter of the shell is to be measured along its longest axis.
If a fish is frozen, refrigerated or chilled, the size of the fish is to be determined as so frozen, refrigerated or chilled.

A scientific name for a fish specified in this Table is the scientific name of the species as at the date the name of the fish was inserted in the Table.
In this Division:
A commercial fisher who takes scallops by means of a dredge or similar device from a boat must:
(a) immediately after taking the scallops, place them in approved sacks or approved crates, and
(b) not remove the scallops from the approved sacks or approved crates in which they are placed until they are landed ashore.
Maximum penalty: 50 penalty units.
A commercial fisher must not place scallops taken by means of a dredge or similar device from a boat in both sacks and crates on the boat.
Maximum penalty: 50 penalty units.
For the purposes of section 17 (1) of the Act, when scallops are taken by means of a dredge or similar device or by a combination of dredges and similar devices from a boat, the daily limit of scallops is whichever of the following applies:
(a) if the scallops are placed in sacks—30 approved sacks of scallops,
(b) if the scallops are placed in crates—48 approved crates of scallops.
For the purposes of section 18 (1) of the Act, when a commercial fisher in possession of scallops is in a boat containing a dredge or similar device capable of taking scallops, the possession limit of scallops for that fisher is whichever of the following applies:
(a) if all scallops on the boat are in approved sacks (whether wholly or partly filled)—30 approved sacks, less the number of approved sacks containing scallops that are on the boat and are not in that person’s possession,
(b) if all scallops on the boat are in approved crates (whether wholly or partly filled)—48 approved crates, less the number of approved crates containing scallops that are on the boat and are not in that person’s possession,
(c) in any other case—nil.
For the purposes of section 18 (1) of the Act, when a person in possession of scallops is not a commercial fisher and is on a boat containing a dredge or similar device capable of taking scallops, the possession limit of scallops for that person is nil.
Under section 24 of the Act it is an offence for a person to use a net or trap for taking any fish unless its use by the person for taking those fish is declared by the regulations to be a lawful use of the net or trap. Section 25 of the Act also makes it an offence for a person to be in possession of any fishing gear in, on or adjacent to any waters if the use by that person of that fishing gear for taking fish from those waters is, at that time, prohibited by or under the Act.
A provision of this Part that declares the use of a net or other fishing gear to be lawful, or to be lawful in specified circumstances, does not affect any prohibition or conditions imposed by or under the Act with respect to the taking of fish.
In particular, nothing in this Part is to be construed as authorising the use, in any circumstances, of a net or other fishing gear for any of the following:
(a) the taking of fish in waters that are closed to fishing by virtue of a notification in force under section 8 of the Act,
(b) the taking of fish that are prohibited size fish or protected fish,
(c) the taking for sale of fish protected from commercial fishing.
For the purposes of this Part, a person who holds a commercial fishing licence that does not authorise the person to take fish for sale in a restricted fishery or a share management fishery is to be treated, in respect of that fishery, as a person who is not a commercial fisher.
Accordingly, despite the other provisions of this Part, it is unlawful for such a person to use a net or trap for taking any fish in that restricted fishery or share management fishery if the use of that net or trap for taking those fish would, if the person were not a commercial fisher, be unlawful.
This subclause applies if a restricted fishery or share management fishery is defined by reference to the use of a particular net or trap. If it is unlawful for a commercial fisher to use such a net or trap to take fish for sale in the fishery, it is unlawful for the fisher to use the net or trap to take fish for bait in the fishery.
Subclause (3) does not apply to the use of a pilchard, anchovy and bait net (hauling) to take fish for bait in the ocean hauling restricted fishery (within the meaning of Division 4A of Part 8).
Despite the other provisions of this Part, it is unlawful for a person to use a net for the purpose of taking fish in any of the waters described in Schedule 2 unless:
(a) the person is using a net that is a landing net or a dip or scoop net for the purpose of taking fish and the use of that net by the person for taking those fish from those waters is, but for this clause, lawful, or
(b) the person is using a net that is a prawn net (set pocket) for the purpose of taking fish from the waters described in Schedule 3 and the use of that net by the person for taking those fish from those waters is, but for this clause, lawful.
Despite the other provisions of this Part, it is unlawful for a person to use a trap for the purpose of taking fish in any of the waters described in Schedule 2 unless:
(a) the person is using a trap that is a bait trap for the purpose of taking fish and the use of that trap by the person for taking those fish from those waters is, but for this clause, lawful, or
(b) the person is using a trap that is a lobster trap for the purpose of taking fish from the waters of Broken Bay south of a line between Little Box Head and the northern most point of Mt Ettalong and the use of that trap by the person for taking those fish from those waters is, but for this clause, lawful.
A fishing closure to which clause 4 of Schedule 7 to the Act applies (being a fishing closure which was formerly a prohibition contained in section 19 of the 1935 Act) is revoked.
For the purposes of section 22 of the Act, the following classes of fishing gear are registrable:
• hauling net (general purpose)
• trumpeter whiting net (hauling)
• garfish net (bullringing)
• garfish net (hauling)
• pilchard, anchovy and bait net (hauling)
• purse seine net
• prawn net (hauling)
• prawn net (set pocket)
• prawn running net
• seine net (prawns)
• otter trawl net (fish)
• danish seine trawl net (fish)
• meshing net
• flathead net
• bait net
• lampara net
• hand-hauled prawn net
• push or scissors net (prawns)
An application for registration of fishing gear is to be made to the Director in a form approved by the Director.
If an application for the registration of fishing gear is duly made and the fishing gear may lawfully be used, the Director may register the fishing gear.
Registration of fishing gear is to be certified in such form or manner as the Director approves.
Registration remains in force for the life of the fishing gear.
The fee to be paid for the registration of fishing gear is $22.
Registration is not transferable.
The Director may cause to be compiled a register of all fishing gear registered, containing in respect of each fishing gear the registration number, the name and address of the owner, the class of the fishing gear and the dimensions and mesh of the whole or of each part of the fishing gear.
The nets described in this Division may be lawfully used only by a commercial fisher, except for a beach safety meshing net which may be lawfully used only by an officer of NSW Fisheries or a person acting on behalf of the Director.
Under section 24 of the Act it is an offence for a person to use a net for taking any fish unless its use by the person for taking those fish is declared by the regulations to be a lawful use of the net.
It is lawful to use a hauling net for taking fish in the waters specified in the Table to this clause if the net (including hauling lines) complies with the description as set out in relation to those waters in that Table and the following conditions are complied with:
(a) The net is used only by the method of hauling.

(e) Except as provided by paragraph (f), the length of each hauling line attached to the net does not exceed the total length of the net to which it is attached.
(f) The length of each hauling line attached to the net does not exceed:
(i) 2,100 metres in length in the waters of St Georges Basin between 1 July and 30 September in any year, or
(ii) 190 metres in length in the waters of that part of the entrance to Wallaga Lake (together with all its inlets and tributaries) extending seawards from the bridge and embankment on the Narooma–Bermagui Road to the Pacific Ocean.
(g) In the waters of the Wonboyn River or any other coastal lake or lagoon, the net is not landed by any method other than against a stake or back net (the total length of which does not exceed 50 metres with a mesh throughout of not less than 25 mm).
(h) The hauling of the net once commenced (that is, when any part of the net other than the hauling line has been shot or cast) is continued without any interruption or delay until completed.
(i) Any fish contained in any part of the net are immediately removed on completion of the haul, or on removal of that part of the net from the water, whichever occurs first.
(j) The net is not used for taking garfish in waters other than ocean waters.
(k) The net is operated by at least 2 commercial fishers.
For the purposes of this Regulation or any other instrument under the Act, a net described in this clause may be referred to as a hauling net (general purpose).
