关于鲍鱼,有钓鱼执照,是可以抓的,但有严格的区域,尺寸,个数,及方法的限制。钓鱼手册(Kmart等地可免费拿)描述很清楚。只要按规定来,就没问题。否则,被巡鱼员查获,罚款会很重。(不过25万有点太大了点,有可能是对专业集团)。。。
确实是针对专业团伙作案。上月宣判的这宗滥捕鲍鱼案,创塔州有史以来最高的法庭罚款纪录。
今年7月20日,霍巴特的塔州最高法院作出终审裁决,48岁的亚裔李维明(Wei Meng Lee)因非法滥捕鲍鱼被特殊重判罚款$126万澳元,相当于涉案鲍鱼价值的10倍。

塔州的鲍鱼味道虽然鲜美,滥捕被抓的后果却极严重。
李维明27岁时从马来西亚移民澳洲昆士兰黄金海岸,2001年8月至2002年3月其间,他被控通过其在昆士兰的公司在塔州制作假冒渔农处文件,隐瞒捕捞鲍鱼数量等非法滥捕贩运鲍鱼活动等5项罪名成立。
除巨额罚款外,李维明还同时被判15个月监禁(缓刑12个月),持守良好行为两年,出狱14天后必须先行偿付$20,000元罚款。
李维明的律师表示,李无法偿还$126万巨款,只能在12月内通过出售房产和向兄弟借款来筹集$150,000元。
法官Shan Tennent在下判时告诉李维明:“你今后一生都要为此付出代价。” :si8
Businessman fined $1.26m over abalone
July 20, 2006 12:12pm Article from: AAP
A QUEENSLAND businessman has received one of Tasmania's largest fines for his involvement in illegal abalone trading.
David Wei Meng Lee, 48, was given a $1.26 million special penalty today for his role in an abalone scam between August 2001 and March 2002.
Lee was found guilty earlier this year of five counts of illegal possession of fish after accepting consignments of undocumented abalone from Tasmania for his Gold Coast business.
Justice Shan Tennent acknowledged today there was "little prospect" of the entire fine being paid, but told the Tasmanian Supreme Court it would have severe consequences for Lee.
"This may potentially affect you for the rest of your life," she told him.
Lee is the last of 17 people to face charges stemming from the 2001 fisheries investigation known as Operation Oakum.
Justice Tennent also sentenced Lee to 15 months' jail, suspended for 12 months and backdated to his initial incarceration on July 4, 2006.
He was also placed on a two-year good-behaviour bond and ordered to pay $20,000 of his penalty within 14 days of his release from prison.
Justice Tennent said abalone received by Lee would have been worth "many thousands of dollars".
"It's clear you were able to make a significant profit from this exercise," she told Lee.
Lee, who emigrated to Australia from Malaysia when he was 27, was warned in November 2001 of the legal requirements for abalone but continued to accept consignments, Justice Tennent said.
"The abalone resources surrounding Tasmania are an incredibly valuable resource for the state," she said.
"Offences ... adversely affect the resource."
Under the Living Marine Resources Management Act, people caught illegally taking or possessing fish face a special penalty equal to 10 times the value of the fish.
A court cannot reduce or suspend the sentence.
Lee's lawyer said his client would be unable to pay the whole amount, but would be able to raise $150,000 within 12 months by selling his house and borrowing money from his brother.
