Legislation in QLD for the rules on taking female crabs, mainly female mud crabs, to be changed.

Whether they be able to be taken seasonally, with a size limit of no smaller than 15cm or 16cm, and non egg bearing, or year round with a size limit of no smaller than 16cm and non egg bearing, with the same bag limit that currently applies.

QLD is the only state not a loud to take or possess female, non egg bearing crabs, with a greater size limit to other states on male crabs, (which should not be changed)
