9  Exemptions to the prohibition in Section 8
(1)  The prohibition in subsection 8(1)(a) does not apply:
         (a)      if the trip ends during the period beginning on 1 March in a year and ending on 30 June in the same year during the period of application of the Direction; and
         (b)      if no more than a cumulative total of 550 kilograms (whole weight) (the First Weight Limit) of the First Species are taken per trip; and
         (c)      if the First Weight Limit or any part thereof has been processed, the whole weight equivalent of the processed First Weight Limit or part thereof is determined using the conversion factors:

                                                         W = GG x 1.1

                                                         W = F x 2.6

                                                         W = HG x 1.4
(2)  The prohibition in subsection 8(1)(a) does not apply:
         (a)      if the trip ends during any other period of the year outside of the period defined in subsection 9(1)(a) during the period of application of the Direction; and
         (b)      if no more than a cumulative total of 50 kilograms (whole weight) (the Second Weight Limit) of the First Species are taken per trip; and
         (c)      if the Second Weight Limit or any part thereof has been processed, the whole weight equivalent of the processed Second Weight Limit or part thereof is determined using the conversion factors:

                                                         W = GG x 1.1

                                                         W = F x 2.6

                                 W = HG x 1.4
(3)  The prohibition in subsection (8)(1)(f) above does not apply if:
         (a)      the only tuna and tuna-like species on board the vessel are longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol); and
