A 4.1 metre saltwater crocodile has been removed from a trap in Darwin Harbour - the largest croc removed from the harbour region this year.
The crocodile was caught in a permanent trap set up in Blessers Creek, behind the East Arm Wharf.
'This is another reminder to people to be extremely cautious about any waterways in the Top End, because estuarine crocodiles can move around throughout the year,' Parks and Wildlife Service ranger Robbie Risk said.
A 2.1 metre saltie was also caught today in a trap in the Katherine River at Taylors Park, west of Katherine.
In total, 161 saltwater crocodiles have been caught in the Top End this year.
