FISHERIES MANAGEMENT (GENERAL) REGULATION 1995 - REG 17

Lawful use of fishing gear in restricted fisheries

17 Lawful use of fishing gear in restricted fisheries

(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) 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).
