13- 188 C.M.R. ch. 25, § 12
Baits containing any substance not originating from the marine waters, which are sold in Maine for use in the lobster/crab fishery, must be labeled in a manner that clearly lists all ingredients contained in the bait, in descending order of volume. This includes, but shall not be limited to, binders and chemicals or other agents used to remove hair from bait hide. The labeling must appear on all product packaging that is utilized by the manufacturer for sale to the lobster or crab industry.
Manufacturers shall provide the Department of Marine Resources (address: Area Coordinator, State House Station 21, Augusta, Maine 04333) with a copy of the label containing the list of ingredients before the sale or distribution of any of the alternative bait product in Maine. The presence of any ingredient in an alternative bait product that is not contained in the label provided to the department shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this rule.
