Before going all crazy let's try to look at this rationally. The intent of that law was clearly to protect all endangered animals. Not just mammals. Not just land critters (highly technical biological term) but all animals. They forgot to include endangered insects as a category. But look at the "fish" category. Mollusks and crustaceans are no more "fish" than bumblebees are. And there is a general grouping for invertebrates. Bumblebees are invertebrates so in keeping with the spirit of the law, which is more important by far than the letter of the law, bumblebees qualify as "fish" for this law only.
Reading the article made me agree with the intent, whatever hoops had to be jumped through due to the legislative wording.
Oh yeah, no, I absolutely agree with the decision to classify them as fish in this instance. Whatever it takes for us to protect the species that are endangered is a go for me.
And this ^^^ is why people dislike English...
'Yeah, nah'...is a very common Australian habit. You're not secretly one of God's chosen, are you mate??
My toilet flushes the right direction, mate

But between this, and when I correctly translated UK English slang word (nowt) for @ChristineM ... I should probably let you guys know I've always had a knack for languages, lingo and slang. I get frequent comments on my foreign pronunciations too (by natives).
So they be fish. Interesting.
Aaaagh! Hagfish brand honey. It sticks to your ribs. It sticks to everything.

And this is why you shouldn't comment on legislation when you don't speak legalese. Words have meaning and words have very special meaning in legalese.
