(a) the licensee is the holder of shares in the fishery or is duly nominated by that holder to take fish on behalf of that holder, and

(b) if the management plan fixes a minimum shareholding to take fish in the fishery that applies to the holder—the holder has not less than the minimum shareholding required, and

(c) the licence is duly endorsed, in accordance with this Division, for the taking of fish in the fishery.
