00:07But in parts of the south, the commercial season won't open as planned on Monday.
00:12An area in the Dontrecasteux Channel won't open for another three months.
00:17Another area further north has been closed to commercial divers for sea urchins and periwinkles.

00:59Recreational fishers aren't affected.
