Born again 3 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I was grocery shopping with the wife last week and noticed Bream for sale sitting in ice. They were very small 150mm-200mm ,these are my target species so am familiar with the legal size in Sth Aust 30cm. Are shops exempt from size restrictions ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ones i saw were like i catch and release in West Lakes , Pat and Onk. Silvery and clean looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Size limits same if caught in SA, but for selling there isn't a size limit as such, it just matters they were legally caught or also if they're from aquaculture, you can get tiny Barra and Murray cod quite easily for example due to them coming from aquaculture and small snapper from interstate.
