Recent test results have revealed elevated levels of dioxins in fish and crustaceans across the Harbour, including Parramatta River and other connected tidal waterways. A ban has been placed on commercial fishing as a precautionary measure. This fishing closure took effect at 5:00pm on 10 February 2006 and remains in effect until 9 Feb 2011, unless sooner amended or revoked.
Recreational fishing in the Harbour has not been banned, but fishers are urged to follow dietary advice on the consumption of seafood from the Harbour and to be aware of existing fishing restrictions.
Fishers can continue to practice catch and release.
An expert panel has recommended that fish and crustaceans caught west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge should not be eaten. You should release your catch.
For fish caught east of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, you should generally not eat more than 150 grams per month. Higher amounts of some fish and crustacean species may be eaten. For further details see below
