Rock lobster © DPIPWE Fishing
If you're buying rock lobster this Christmas make sure it is a legally caught commercial lobster with a Government-issued tag to distinguish it from recreationally caught rock lobster. All recreational lobsters have the tail fan clipped or a 10 mm hole punched in it.
If you are offered a 'deal', please contact Fishwatch on 0427 655 557 with the details.
Remember it is illegal to sell, buy, barter or raffle recreationally caught fish. Both the seller and the purchaser are liable for prosecution.
