Description

The regulation addresses licences for fishing (recreational, commercial, subsistence), fish culture (specified fish held live for sale for human consumption), research, import of aquatic invasive species (AIS), fish stocking, salvage fishing and competitive fishing events. It also addresses the transportation, handling, marketing, processing, storage, preservation, sale and disposition of fish and AIS. Licence requirements are established to conserve wild fish stocks, protect them from exposure to diseases and parasites, prevent invasive species from becoming established, and prevent illegal introductions and to ensure edible fish are properly handled and preserved for human consumption. It and the Fisheries (Ministerial) Regulation complement each other and overlap on subject material.
