Fish and shellfish limits

Fish and shellfish limits

This sign on the Coromandel coastline north of Thames outlines the daily catch and size limits for recreational anglers and divers. There is a limited season for taking scallops in the area. Regulations vary, and anglers should check to ensure that they do not break rules. This helps ensure that there will be fish to catch in the future.
