accurate record of all trout purchased for sale as aforesaid. Such register shall also show the correct names and addresses of the persons from whom such trout has been purchased, and the exact weight of trout purchased in each case, together with the true date of such purchase. Every register shall be open to inspection at all reasonable times by any Collector of Customs, fisheries officer, constable, or officer of a duly registered acclimatisation society.

10. No person shall sell trout unless he is the holder of a license to net or sell trout issued under these regulations.

11. No license issued hereunder shall be capable of being transferred or assigned.

12. No person shall net for trout without a license under these regulations; and every person netting shall, on demand of any Collector of Customs, fisheries officer, constable, or officer of any registered acclimatisation society, produce and show his license and, if so requested, the contents of his net.

13. In addition to the license fee payable under these regulations for netting trout, every holder of a license to net shall pay to the Postmaster at the place where such trout are taken a royalty of one penny per pound on all trout so netted. The amount of such royalties when received shall be paid over to the local acclimatisation society, to be expended by such society in restocking the waters of the district with trout. Where there is more than one local acclimatisation society in the district, then such royalty shall be allocated in such manner as the Minister of Customs (herein termed “the Minister”) shall direct. For the purpose of computing such royalty every such license-holder shall, once in each week during the continuance of such license, lodge with the said Postmaster a true statement of the weight of trout taken by such license-holder during such week. Any license-holder failing to make such return for more than three days after the close of any such week shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations.

14. No person shall net, fish for, catch, or kill, in any manner, or have in his possession, any salmon, salmon-parr, or smolts, or the young or fry of any salmon in any stage whatever, and any of the above named taken by accident or otherwise shall be immediately returned alive to the water from which the same was taken.

15. A Collector of Customs authorised to issue a license under the provisions of these regulations may refuse to issue a license to any person who within the previous two years has been convicted of a breach of any Act relating to fishing or netting for trout, or of any regulation made thereunder, including these regulations.

16. No trout shall be exported from the Dominion (unless with the express sanction in writing of the Minister) under a penalty of not less than ten pounds.

17. It shall be the duty of the chairman of each acclimatisation society receiving any fees, moneys, or payments under the provisions of these regulations to forward to the Secretary of the Marine Department, on or before the 10th day of April in each year, a statement certified by the said chairman showing all moneys received and expended by such society under the provisions of these regulations as up to the 31st day of March previous, and in particular the details of all expenditure of such moneys in restocking the streams and waters in the district with trout.

18. All trout unlawfully taken, or exposed, consigned, or bought for sale, and also all vessels, boats, fixed engines, nets, gear, tackle, or other apparatus used in any unlawful fishing or taking of trout, whether found on shore or in the possession of the persons taking the same, or any other person whomsoever, or in any vessel or boat, shall be forfeited, and shall be disposed of as the Minister thinks fit.

19. Except as otherwise specially provided, the penalty for breach of any of these regulations shall be not less than forty shillings nor more than fifty pounds.

20. If any person be convicted of an offence against these regulations, the license (if any) held by the offender shall thereupon become void.
