   (a)  if the permit relates to the Aquarium Sector of the Fishery-$500; and

   (b)  if the permit relates to the Deep Water Sector of the Fishery-$1,060.

"(2) For the purposes of subregulation (1):

   (a)  a fishing permit relates to the Aquarium Sector of the Fishery if the
        permit authorises the taking of fish only by hand collection (that is,
        by hand, by handline, or by scoop net); and

   (b)  a fishing permit relates to the Deep Water Sector of the Fishery if
        the permit authorises the taking of fish by any method other than hand
        collection.

"(Note: Under the Primary Industries and Energy Research and Development Act 
1989 , a part ('the research component') of the levy imposed by the Fishing 
Levy Act 1991 is to be paid to the Fisheries Research and Development
Corporation for research and development activities relating to the fishing
industry. It is proposed that, in respect of each fishing permit, an amount of
$60 from the levy amount will be paid to the Corporation as the Fishery's
contribution to the research component.)".
