N.H. Admin. Code § Fis 807.14

Current through Register No. 50, December 12, 2024
Section Fis 807.14 - Aquaculture Raised Hybrid Striped Bass
(a) The purpose of this rule is to provide consistency in the regulation of the sale of aquaculture raised hybrid striped bass. Aquaculture raised hybrid striped bass (Morone saxatilis X M. chrysops)produced for market create a potential outlet for undersized striped bass that could undermine the management and enforcement goals. Aquaculture raised striped bass for market can be easily and quickly shipped to all parts of the country. Regulations governing transport, handling, and sale are most effective if standardized among the states. This section is drafted to be consistent with provisions of Resolution IV adopted by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission in 1989.
(b) No person shall market, promote, advertise, or sell hybrid striped bass as "striped bass". Only the term "hybrid striped" bass shall be used.
(c) The licensee shall affix a tag or label to each fish container holding whole aquaculture raised hybrid striped bass.
(d) The tag shall be clearly marked as hybrid striped bass and contain the following:
(1) State of origin;
(2) Name and address of shipping and receiving dealers;
(3) State permit number, if applicable;
(4) Date shipped; and
(5) Weight of container.
(e) Whole hybrid striped bass or fillets of aquaculture raised hybrid striped bass shall have the skin attached.
