The answer is 28, according to a story in NTMAG by fish guru Helen Larson.

I don't have a list but I will ask.

Never seen so many sharks as in NT waters, what's with those tiny ones that turn up in plagues off Charles Point?

I was told by a guru from the mueseum about 8 years ago on a survey of the Alligator river mouth that I did with them that there was over 30. Perhaps he exagerated a bit?????

If sharks are so common why is there a possession limit of only three?
