136 Offence to fail to return fish to water without injury or damage
(1) A person who takes a fish that is not of a noxious aquatic species, and that is not to be retained by the person, must immediately return that fish to the water with the least possible injury or damage.
(2) Subregulation (1) does not apply to a holder of a commercial fishery licence or a person acting on behalf of a holder of a commercial fishery licence when acting under that licence.
This regulation does not apply to a holder of a commercial fishery licence because it is a condition of all commercial fishery licences under Part 2.
