Crabbing Clarification

[Paul]

Hi all

I've already sent Fisheries an email but they're taking their time getting back to me so posting here if anyone can provide insight into this closure at Hawkesbury River (Cowan & Jerusalem Bay).  I'd like to go crabbing here if it's permissible.

I take it witches hats and hoop nets are off limits but is a crab pot/trap considered a net?

Also what is meant by "any species of fish"?  Do crustaceans and invertebrates fall into this category?

Thanks in advance

Paul

From memory no traps or hoop nets from the seaward side of Jerusalem Bay entry all the way west. So no traps in Jerusalem Bay and most of Cowan.
