governments are stupid and insects are certainly invertebrates

The law was amended to include invertebrates anywhere the term fish was used.

It’s not as crazy as it sounds as people go lobster/crab fishing so there is a fair amount of overlap when someone is talking about fisherman. Starfish, jellyfish, etc again blur the line linguistically.

But the fast they used invertebrates in the definition rather than aquatic invertebrates means it also covers non aquatic invertebrates.
