Sportski ribolovci, htjeli to oni ili ne, moraju poznavati neke od zakonskih akata. To se posebno odnosi na Naredbu o zaštiti riba i drugih morskih organizama. Naredba o zaštiti propisuje što se podrazumijeva pod nedoraslim ribama i drugim morskim organizmima te najmanju količinu (dužinu ili težinu) gospodarski važnih vrsta riba. Nedoraslim ribama i drugim morskim organizmima, stoji u naredbi, smatraju se svi razvojni oblici prije njihove prve spolne zrelosti. U svrhu bolje informiranosti, jer sportski ribolovci to moraju znati, navodimo najmanje veličine gospodarski važnih vrsta riba, ispod kojih se ne smiju loviti. Napomena : ribama se dužina tijela mjeri od vrška glave do kraja ispružene repne peraje. |

This receipt is also valid on January 1 at December 31. Also the recipient must be sixteen and more.
Obligation to respect :
- areas closed with the practice of spearfishing;
- commercial sizes and maximum quantities;
- to announce its presence by means of a buoy allowing to locate its position (decision of the 30/12/1999 published in the Official Journal).
Prohibition :
- to use an apparatus allowing to breathe in diving;
- to differently use a rifle with compressed gas than by the force of the user;
- to drive out 150 meters of the ships and the fishing boats, as well as machines of fishing announced by beaconing;
- to use luminous sources (flashlights);
- to sell the catches;
- to hold at the same time on a ship of the respiratory equipment and machines of spearfishing;
- to hold and use a " leaded cord ";
- to drive out the brown grouper;
- to pick the sea urchins apart from the authorized periods (since 01/10 to 30/04, limitation with 12 maximum dozen by boat and 4 dozen per anybody on foot or in apnea; minimal size: 2 inches except prickles). The dates and the number of catches which can vary according to Districts' of the Maritime Businesses, it is thus advised to get information near these organizations before starting any picking.

Underwater hunting : it is the capture of marine animals,
in action of stroke, using a crossbow
In addition to a common regulation valid for all the practise fishing in French
territorial waters, there are even local regional specificities which it is
advisable to know. We thus will try to draw up a list détaillèe of it:
I) GENERAL REGULATION OF FISHING UNDER NAVY OF LEISURE
The subscription of a contract of public liability insurance for the practice
for underwater fishing for leisure is obligatory.
It is necessary to be at least 16 years old to practise underwater fishing. A
declaration of activity near the maritime businesses is necessary if the
practitioner is not affiliated with a sporting federation counsel for the
practice of this activity.
obligations and safety of the hunter submarines:
prohibitions of the hunter submarines:
Prohibited machines or processes
Periods prohibited with the hunter submarines:
places and areas closed with the hunter submarines:
2) MINIMAL SIZES OF THE CAPTURES
The captures must respect the minimal sizes authorized as well in the case of
fish as of shellfish or the shells. It can happen that the sizes selected are
different from one area to another; this is why it is advisable to get
information near the services maritime businesses which will give all useful
lawful information on the matter.
MESHS
the decree of October 25, 1994 fixes these limits for the species of
maritime water which concerns sovereignty or the French jurisdiction. The
determination of the size of fish goes from the point of the muzzle at the end
of the fin
