Most of the changes are minor, including updating references to repealed legislation and to fish names to comply with the Australian Fish Names Standard, removing unnecessary clauses and modernising the legislation.

Other changes include allowing a new form of yabby net, minor changes to commercial abalone packaging requirements, and a new $1000 penalty notice to help deal with shark finning offences.

Closing date is July 9 so to have your say on the proposed changes go to https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/about-us/legislation/list/staged-repeal-of-fisheries-management-general-regulation-2010
