No, not an annual limit Yammy5, but yes a possession limit in the generally accepted meaning of the word. If one's possession, in the freezer or otherwise, drops below the 2 day limit then it could be topped-off to the 2 day limit until the annual limit is reached. As there is no 'annual limit' for prawns, the 'sport' fisherman could maintain a 400 prawn cache 'ad infinitum'.
Of course, I don't agree with there not being a reasonable annual limit on any sport fish. By 'reasonable' I mean a number that the average sport fisherman will have to work at to achieve. I see, however, the same 'sport' prawners taking home limits morning and afternoon, day in and day out, all year long. A couple of them must have many hundreds stashed away or maybe they eat them 3-times a day? Up until reading this thread, I had in mind that this was not legal. It goes to show that without restrictions, it is the nature of some humans to push 'reasonable' to the limit and far beyond. See comments on the Alberni sockeye fishery as another example.
