Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order prescribes a minimum size, namely 36 centimetres, below which, by virtue of section 1(5) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967, it is an offence in Great Britain to land bass of the speciesDicentrarchus labrax. In reliance upon the authorisation in Article 14(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3094/86 (OJ No. L288, 11.10.86, p.1), laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources, this Order imposes a stricter minimum landing size for bass landed and, by virtue of section 1(3) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967, carried by British fishing boats, than that contained in that Regulation.
There is an exemption for the landing of bass from fishing boats other than British fishing boats. British sea-fishery officers are given enforcement powers in relation to boats to which this Order applies.
Offences and penalties are prescribed respectively by sections 1(7) and 11 of the 1967 Act.
The Order supersedes the Immature Bass Order 1981 and the Immature Bass (Variation) Order 1983 which are revoked.
