How much is the old coho caught east of the line vs west of it? Used to $150 don't ask me how I know.
Wonder what an extra prawn or two would cost you?

It was $500 a crab. I don't want people punished for mistakes, but I've heard enough of people ignoring the rules, including female crabs being kept, which is criminal.
Glad the guy above spent money on a lawyer too
Overlimit of Prawns (or any "fish") would be a $200 base fine + $50 per Prawn(or other Fish) over quota + a 15% "victim Services fee.
Egg bearing Prawns get very expensive as they are prohibited by "Condition of Licence" starting at $863
Cheaper to just know and follow the rules..
