# The Shellfish (Specification of Crustaceans) Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W+S

(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations, which apply only in relation to England, add crabs to the types of shellfish falling within section 1(1) of the Sea Fisheries (Shellfish) Act 1967 (“the 1967 Act”). This enables several or regulated fisheries for crabs to be established by an order 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).
