shelties Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi there, I am getting 20 shrimp from a person I know and was going to pay them $20.00 for their effort. So can I pay them $20.00 or is that illegal and so I have to give them a gift instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 koura may legally be gathered for personal consumption up to a limit of 50 crayfish per day. However, the selling, trading or ...Shrimp fall under the same rules as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird73 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 There is a guy on TM that has been selling them for weeks at $5 each :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yeah I saw that too. But it sounds like he breeds them. Bit too dear for me to buy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yeah I saw that too. But it sounds like he breeds them. Bit too dear for me to buy though Pretty sure you cannot legally breed and sell them either without some fancy expensive permit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterlogged Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I recall Stella posting something along the lines of it is ok to sell them if you have breed them. just not to go out, catch them, them sell your catch. They all say they have breed them online but I thought they needed marine water to breed which was why they are found mostly in eastrys. But yea just give them it as petrol money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea just give them it as petrol money Wanted to find out what the deal was, so emailed MAF and got this answer re: shrimp on TM: Fisheries management advisors have indicated that there are no sustainability issues relating to freshwater shrimp. There may be an issue about the species being collected from the wild and subsequently sold however it is clear that these are being bred by the advertiser and the numbers sold are at a very low level. So there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterlogged Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 yea I ask one of them and he said he did but didn't sound very convincing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird73 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 i am also a non-believer. A photo of a gravid shrimp does not make you a breeder :roll: But I think its more about the numbers - at $5 per shrimp he won't sell enough to really worry MAF at all. If people were selling in the thousands and to a large number of people then it might be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackiePlecChan Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Looking at the history on trademe, he actually sold alot for $5 each, looks like hes starting up his shrimp business. But seriously thats way to overpriced they are pretty much common in any clean waterway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
