Official NT page setting recreational possession limits, including a general personal possession limit, separate limits for exempt species, and per-vessel limits. See the page for current numbers.
Northern Territory Stream Access Laws

Permission is required to enter intertidal waters over Aboriginal land, and recreational fishers must register (via the Northern Land Council) to access some waters.
