REGULATIONS AS TO TRAWL-NETS.

1. THE mesh of every trawl-net shall measure, when prepared for use, wetted, and stretched, not less than the following dimensions: viz., in wings and body, 5 in.; in cod end, 4 in.

2. The size of mesh in every case shall be ascertained by measuring the length between knot and knot of opposite corners, with the mesh closed, the net being first wetted and stretched, and being tanned, tarred, or otherwise prepared for use. In case of dispute or doubt, a 1lb. weight shall be slung or attached to one knot of a mesh, in order to produce a fair strain or extension, and the space between the top and bottom knots shall be measured forthwith while the mesh remains extended. If the net to be measured is dry, the part to be measured shall be soaked either in fresh or salt water for not less than ten minutes, and the mesh so soaked shall then be measured.

3. Any fishery officer may, at any reasonable time, examine and measure any trawl-net used, or which he has reason to believe is intended to be used, for fishing purposes.

4. Every person shall be liable to a penalty of not less than £1 or more than £20 who uses for fishing purposes, or has in his possession for such use, any trawl-net the mesh of which is of less size than is hereinbefore prescribed, or who, being in possession of any trawl-net, refuses to allow any fishery officer to measure the same, or in any way prevents or obstructs him in so doing.
