Procedure details
Description
The permit (authorization certificate) is only issued
- for the promotion of conservation and fish farming,
- in the case of special fishing conditions,
- for water management,
- for teaching, experimental or research purposes,
insofar as no lasting impairment of the conservation objective is to be expected. Permission for electrofishing may be applied for by the person entitled to fish, the fishing leaseholder or the person otherwise fully authorized to fish. Records must be kept of the results of electrofishing.
The authorization certificate is issued for a limited period and is revocable at any time for certain waters.
Requirements
The authorization certificate for electric fishing is only issued if the applicant
- proves that the electric fisherman has a valid operating license,
- submits a valid registration certificate for the electric fishing gear
- and provides proof of liability insurance with a minimum sum insured of EUR 1 million for personal injury, EUR 300,000 for property damage and EUR 10,000 for financial loss.
Proceedings
The application for electrofishing can be submitted either to the district administrative authorities or to the district fisheries advisory service.
If the application is submitted to the district administrative authority, it forwards the application to the district fisheries advisory service for its opinion. The district then examines the application as an expert in accordance with Art. 62 of the Bavarian Fisheries Act (BayFiG) and prepares an expert opinion on fishing, which usually also specifies a list of conditions for the implementation of electrofishing.
The district administrative authority then issues a decision based on this report. If the application is submitted directly to the district fisheries advisory service, the application is forwarded to the district administrative authority together with the opinion.
Records (e.g. catch reports) must be submitted to the district administrative authority or the district fisheries advisory service on request.
