How is it decided if sea- fishing is Commercial or Recreational?
A. Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority staff will be guided by the legislation in force in determining whether a person is engaged in commercial or recreational fishing. As the sale or purchase of quantities of sea-fish less than 10kg does not require a sales note any such landings of sea-fish would not be considered commercial. However any landings of sea-fish over 10kg by recreational fishermen may require further investigation by Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority staff to determine that such fish was for personal use and not for commercial sale.
