(includes breaksea cod, harlequinfish, grey banded rock cod and Chinaman cod)
Family Serranidae Epinephelus sp. (such as malabar cod and estuarycod) over 1,000 mm or 30kg are protected
(except grey banded rock cod)
Breaksea – 300 mm
Just copied off fisheries we site updated in march 2011 does this mean we can take gb over 1m now ?

No slot limit for cod and min
No slot limit for cod and min size is 300mm.
Snapper also have no slot limit now in Cockburn sound which means you can take two fish over 70cm rather than just the one.(min size 50 still applies)
A bit backward considering that the regs were put in place to protect the spawning snapper????

Never looked at that myself
Never looked at that myself as I have never been able to venture out that far. Sounds like we better get our acts together Dan with your new boat. I'll be in any deep water venture!
Will be at the shed tomorrow (Friday) mate sucking some coldies with Nowackie and Purce and ricking Pushers for our Warroora Trip.

the greay band are no longer
the greay band are no longer on the 1mtr rule as they are a very deep dwelling fish and they will never be able to be returned to their habitat. it took quite some time and many arguements for this to occur.
i knowof several people that had to return the big buggers before the change in rule, hard to see them float away.
