    Maybe they should use them as well rather than vernier callipers and tell people their crab guages are out.

    I find it funny that only this time last year there were a few members on here who had crabs that were deemed borderline or marginally undersize when measured with vernier callipers by Fisheries Officers. When they produced their crab guage and said that it is legal size when measured by the implement produced and distributed by Fisheries QLD they were told "It's a guide only".
