(1) The permitted distance for an assistant fisher to be under direction of a commercial fisher is 800m or, if they are setting a tunnel net, 1700m.
(2) However, if more than 1 net is used, the assistant fisher is taken to be within the permitted distance if the assistant fisher is within 800m of the first or last net or between the nets.
(3) Subsection (2) only applies if the commercial fisher is also within 800m of the first or last net or between the nets.
