Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment removes reporting requirements for commercially-harvested common snapping and soft-shelled turtles.
(1) Commercial fishermen and roe fish dealers shall keep a dated receipt that includes the weight and species of fish and the weight of extracted fish eggs (raw or processed) of each species that were sold or given away and the name, address, and signature of the recipient. These receipts shall be retained for three (3) years and shall be made available for inspection by an authorized agent of the department at any reasonable time.
(2) Commercial fishermen and roe fish dealers shall submit a complete and accurate monthly report on a form furnished by the department showing the origin (water area), live weight, and species of fish and fish eggs taken or purchased by him/her during the preceding month, or a negative report if none were taken. Printed copies of these forms can be obtained from the Missouri Department of Conservation, PO Box 180, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0180 and online at www.missouriconservation.org. Monthly reports must be received by the department within thirty (30) days of the end of each month. Failure to submit a monthly report shall be sufficient cause for the department to revoke the current year's commercial fishing permit and deny renewal of the permit for the following year.
