People who get caught with undersize fish should be fined. Doesn't matter if they speak english , french or tazmanian. Doesn't matter what they see at fish markets. they are suppose to know the law. Take their gear and impound their vehicle until they pay the fine. No Excuses.
Someone gets caught with a 27.5 inch fish , show discretion that maybe someone messed up the measurement by half an inch. maybe a warning ticket . Someone gets caught with a 24 inch fish , nail them. No excuses.
A restaurant buys or sells fish illegally , shut it down for two weeks. It'll cost them thousands. When its not worth the risk , they won't do it! No excuses. (do I hear an echo)
I agree farmraised should be ID'ed as such. We should promote fish farming. Either I or a friend has caught any bass I've ever eaten but If I were going to buy some , I'd get the farm raised if available. marinate it for better taste.
I'm tired of hearing about language barriers or ignorance as excuses for POACHING!
