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 some areas are now closed to fishing for certain species, to allow poached stocks time to recover.
