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. 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).
