Crayfish with eggs: It is illegal to keep Crayfish with eggs<br />
(“berried” females), or to remove those eggs. Crayfish with<br />
eggs must be returned carefully to the water.<br />
Note: The Fitzroy Falls Spiny Crayfish is a totally protected species and cannot be taken. Yabby traps cannot be used in any<br />
waters east of the Newell Highway and hence their use where these Crayfish species occur is illegal. Fishers taking Yabbies<br />
and Spiny Crayfish in upland regions should familiarise themselves with identification of each species as bag and size limits<br />
differ significantly.<br />
