Regulation No. 1160/2021 on crab fishing.

This Regulation governs crab fishing with traps within Iceland’s fishing jurisdiction and requires a special permit from the Directorate of Fisheries for all crab species, including European green crab, Atlantic rock crab and spider crab. It sets rules on permits, trap types, marking and inspection of gear, maximum number of traps, minimum landing sizes for males, a ban on landing live female crabs, and a prohibition on crab trap fishing in defined lobster areas. It also provides for licence withdrawal and penalties for violations.
