Editor's Note Former SECTION 50-5-2017 was entitled "Flounder Population Study Program; catch limits" and was derived from 2009 Act No. 47, SECTION 3. ARTICLE 21 Mariculture SECTION 50-5-2100. Mariculture permits; penalty for failure to acquire. (A) The department may grant mariculture permits for collection, importation, and holding of saltwater gamefish, or for other fish for which there are size or possession limits, for brood stock and for the propagation, holding, transport, and processing of the fish produced through mariculture as defined in Section 50-5-15. Mariculture permits granted under this section may allow the take of such fish and may specify conditions related to lawful collection areas, equipment, collecting times and periods, catch and size limitations, holding facilities, and catch reporting requirements.
