96D Taking of fish
(1) The holder of an ONLF licence must not take fish under the licence except in the Off-shore Net and Line Fishery area.
(1B) An Off-shore Net and Line Fishery licensee must not take fish under the licence unless the licensee has a quota unit that gives the licensee the right to do so.
Note for subregulation (1B)
Because of regulation 96CI(1)(b), regulation 96CI applies if a licensee contravenes this subregulation.
(2) An Off-shore Net and Line Fishery licensee may, during a voyage, take as by-catch:
30 Spanish mackerel, trunked or retained as whole fish; and
(b) for each tonne of grey mackerel taken by the licensee during the voyage – not more than an additional 10 Spanish mackerel, trunked or retained as whole fish; and
5 black jewfish, trunked or retained as whole fish; and
50 kg of snapper.
(2A) An Off-shore Net and Line Fishery licensee must not take Spanish mackerel, black jewfish or snapper other than in accordance with subregulation (2).
Maximum penalty: 85 penalty units.
(3) An Off-shore Net and Line Fishery licensee must not take barramundi, king threadfin or mud crab (each a no-take species) under the licence.
