Thinking of making some quick cash by selling your fish or crabs on Facebook?
Think again. You must have a licence to sell fish in Queensland. The taking of fish for sale other than by licensed fishers is prohibited.
A Toowoomba man advertised two mud crabs his mate caught for sale on Facebook and later sold them. It cost him a $1178 fine. Under the Fisheries Act, offering to sell or offering to sell for someone else constitutes selling fisheries resources.
If you suspect illegal fishing activity including the unlawful sale of fish, report it to Fishwatch by calling 1800 017 116 or fill out the online form by clicking on Fishwatch at the top of our Facebook page. l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
