FISHERIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 13

Prohibition of introduction of fish of certain kinds.

13.(1) Where the Ministry is satisfied that the introduction into any waters
of fish of any particular kind would be detrimental to the fishery of those
waters, the Ministry may make an order prohibiting the introduction into such
waters of any live fish of that kind or any eggs or young thereof.

(2) If any person introduces any thing into any waters in contravention of an
order made under subsection (1) he shall be guilty of an offence.

(3) Where an order has been made under subsection (1) with respect to any
waters, the Ministry may, on the application of any person, issue to that
person a permit to introduce into those waters any thing of a kind the
introduction of which into those waters is prohibited by the order, and may
attach to the permit such conditions as the Ministry thinks proper and
specifies in the permit; and a person to whom such a permit has been granted,
or any other person acting under his directions, may, subject to the
conditions specified in the permit, do anything authorised by the permit
without incurring any penalty under this section.

(4) An order made under this section shall be subject to negative resolution.
