I thought I might just ask this here since it has few people tagged in it already.

Outside of restricted areas:1 litre or a combined total of 30 whole or parts of crab from one or more species.
This bag limit does not apply to purchased bait.
I am guessing 'outside a restricted area' is in the usual places outside Marine National Parks and Sanctuaries.
I can't get my head around the '1 litre or a combined total of 30 whole or parts....'
When it says 1 litre, does it mean what would fit into a 1 litre container? Or is it talking about the weight of crab in proportion to the weight of presumable one litre of water (1 kg or there about).
I can understand '30 whole or parts...', but does it mean if I have 15 crabs and they weigh about the same as 1 litre/1 kg, do I have my catch? The limit on numbers is obviously to limit the number of crabs being fished.
