Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which apply only in relation to Wales, add crabs to the types of shellfish falling within section 1(1) of the Sea Fisheries (Shellfish) Act 1967 (“the 1967 Act”). This enables several or regulated fisheries for crabs to be established by orders under that section.

Scallops and queens were specified for the purpose of section 1 of the 1967 Act by the Shellfish (Specification of Molluscs) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/218).

(1)

1967 c. 83; relevant amendments to section 1(1) were made by the Sea Fisheries Act 1968 (c. 77) section 15(2), by the Fishery Limits Act 1976 (c. 86) Schedule 2, paragraph 15, by the Sea Fisheries (Shellfish) (Amendment) Act 1997 (c. 3) section 1, and by the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1820) Schedule 2, paragraph 42(2). The functions of “the appropriate Minister” in relation to Wales were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672), Article 2 and Schedule 1.
