Abstract

This Order amends the Undersized Velvet Crabs Order 1989, the Undersized Edible Crabs (Scotland) Order 2000 and the Undersized Lobsters (Scotland) Order 2000 so as to prescribe minimum sizes for the landing of velvet crabs, edible crabs and lobsters in the Outer Hebrides. The Order also prescribes a maximum landing size for female lobsters in the Outer Hebrides and prohibits the landing in Scotland of female lobsters with missing claws, caught in Scottish inshore waters surrounding the Outer Hebride. Some restrictions apply only to landings from British fishing boats.
