NEW SALMON ANGLING REGULATION

 WILD SALMON CARCASS TAGGING AND LOG BOOK SCHEME

The Department of the Marine and Natural Resources has introduced a Cascass Tagging and Logbook scheme for commercial and recreational salmon catches. The scheme is to be administered  by the Central and Regional Fisheries Boards. There are a series of leaflets for anglers on tagging their catch and recording relevant details in their logbooks. From January 1st 2001 all salmon rod licence holders shall affix a tag to 

• all salmon

• sea trout over 40 cms they catch and retain

These tags will identify salmon and sea trout (over 40cms), which have been caught legally, and will therefore allow for an enumeration of the catch.

The angler will be able to obtain their licence from Regional Fisheries Board Headquarters and Rod Licence distributors. On payment of the rod licence fee, the angler will be given:

The relevant rod licence

• A logbook or a one day angling return form

• 5 gill tags for an annual or 21 day licence or a 3 gill tag for a one day licence

• A Business reply envelope will be provided for return of the logbook and unused tags to the relevant Regional Fisheries Board.

• a plastic wallet for the logbook

THE  TAG

The tag to be used by anglers is a blue self locking device. Each tag is embossed with a code identifying the region in which the tag was issued and number.

• Tags issued to the holder of a rod licence may be used in any region in which the licence is valid.

• Fishermen should carefully note the following concerning the use of these tags

• Each rod licence holder will be issued tags for his or her use only. Tags are not transferable between licence holders or between licences held by the same person

• These tags shall not be re-used

• One tag shall be attached to each salmon and sea trout (over 40 cms) caught and retained.

• Tags must be attached immediately on landing the fish

• Tags shall be attached through the gill opening and mouth and securely locked around the gill cover as shown in the illustration below

• Lost and accidently destroyed tags may be replaced upon presentation of a signed declaration completed by an angler and signed by an Authorised Officer of a Regional Fisheries Board

• Additional tags shall be issued on presentation of logbook information showing that the licence holder has used the gill tags issued to him or her.

• Gill tags shall only be removed from the fish at the time of processing in accordance with the tagging scheme regulations. For the purposes of this scheme processing includes smoking, marinating or cooking the fish, gutting and freezing the fish or cutting any steaks, cutlets or portions of the fish

THE  LOGBOOK

On receipt of tags the angler will receive a logbook. Details of the gill tags issued to an angler's logbook by the issuing agent.

Each fisherman shall:

• Have the logbook in his/her possession while fishing for salmon or seatrout.

• Record their catch on a daily basis at the end of each fishing trip or before midnight on each day where fishing lasts for more than one day and record details of fish retailed or otherwise retained.

• Record details of any lost or damaged tags

• Declare lost or damaged logbooks to the relevant Regional Fisheries Board

SUPPLY OF TAGS AND LOGBOOKS

If additional gill tags are needed they may be obtained from authorised agents on presentation of a correctly filled-in logbook

RETURN OF  TAGS AND LOGBOOKS

Fishermen are required by law to return the logbook and all unused tags to the issuing Regional Fisheries Board or the Regional Board within whose fishery region he/she resides within 21 days following the end of the licence expiry.

INFORMATION ON THE TAGGING SCHEME FOR ANGLERS

The holder of a rod licence should familiarise himself or herself with Part 3 of the Fisheries (Amendemdent) Act 1999 (No 35 of 1999) and the Wild Salmon and Sea Trout Tagging Scheme Regulations, 2000 (SI.. No.256 of 2000)"

REQUIREMENTS IN RELATION TO COMPLETION OF THE ANGLERS LOGBOOK

The Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources and the National Commission have decided that for the year 2001 an entry need only be made in the anglers logbook when a fish is caught.

The Commission proposes to consider changes to the regulation for the year 2002, and in the meantime has requested Fisheries Boards to implement the provision in relation to anglers logbook in the spirit of the decisions of the Minister and the Commission pending the necessary changes in the regulations.

Consequently, it has been agreed that anglers will only have to fill in the following information in the logbook in 2001:

1. The anglers name and address
2. Date of Capture of Fish
3. River/Lake where captured
4. Species Caught – (salmon or sea trout)
5. Tag Details (number)
6. Disposal

This information to be entered in the Logbook only when a fish is caught
