What can you spearfish UK (and how much)?

[WetFish]

Hey Guys,

Not sure this is in the right place so please redirect me if not but just wondered what is fair game in the UK?

What can you absolutely not touch?

Is there not a .gov that would say? (I couldn't seem to find one)

Would love to know more.

So far all I have is this that I got off the British Spearfishing Association Website (list of species you will probably see and can go for):
" GREY MULLET British Record: 5.0kg. 11.35kg.
" BASS British Record: 8.71kg.
" POLLACK British Record: 7.63kg.
" PLAICE British Record: 4.00kg.
" SOLE British Record: 3.12kg.

Here's a handy page I use for reference that has the minimum sizes you can legally take. (Bare in mind everything looks much bigger under water. I took a few fish that turned out to be too small at first) It also has information regarding endangered species and what fish anglers are recommended to release.
