Summary and Background Part 7: Fisheries Supplementary Section 232: Keeping, introduction and removal of fish
611.This section allows the appropriate national authority to make regulations to prohibit persons from keeping any fish, introducing any fish into inland waters or removing any fish from inland waters without prior authorisation.
612.Section 30 of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975 prohibits the introduction of fish into inland waters unless the person introducing the fish has the prior consent in writing of the Agency. Regulations made under section 232 may make consequential amendments to legislation, which would allow section 30 to be replaced by any such regulations.
