Justin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 was pumping nippers (those yabbies with one big pink claw and one small claw) in the Paramatta river the other day when i fellow fisherman told me that its illegal to do inside the harbour? had a quick look on the fisheries website but couldnt find anything, ill call them soon but just wondering if this was common knowledge or not? i knew of no such ban cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew399 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 yeah pretty sure it is illegal. THe fisheries site does say it pretty clearly but i cant be bothered looking it up... something about the inter tidal zone or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Spanner Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm pretty sure you can do it next to St George Sailing Club near Captain Cook Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice - pump somewhere else and bring them with you. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko76 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Last time I checked you cant take any invertebrate(nippers included) from anywhere in Sydney harbour or attached waterways. Hawkesbury is OK not sure about Hacking or Botany. Cheers, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two waterways you mention it is permissable ,but there are some restrictions. Please check the laws on the fisheries web site to make sure you are doing everything legally.

Dreamtime Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Would they not be referring to worms? I thought nippers would be classified as a crustacean. Maybe we have a clever Biologist on the forums who could clarrify this. Cheers Mariner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimJ Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Would they not be referring to worms? I thought nippers would be classified as a crustacean. Im pretty sure all crustaceans are invertebrates (including nippers) as they have no spinal chord. Cheers, Simmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
