Edelfisch (fishing law)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under Edelfisch is understood in the freshwater fishing industry specific fish species subject to special catch limits.

Game fish are usually called the food fish preferred in a fishing water or the more important stocking fish . For game fish - but also for other fish species - closed seasons and Brittelmaße (minimum catch dimensions ) are typically specified. In addition, the catch usually has to be documented immediately in the license book of the fishing license or in comparable catch statistics (fish subject to registration). Such measures consistently apply to anglers as well as commercial fishermen .

Noble fish is usually opposed to less valuable fish, such as white fish . In general, the term can appear very diverse.

In Austrian fishing law, the term is not generally defined, it is not found in the state fishing laws and associated regulations. It is only used at the level of the special fishing regulations of the individual fishing waters. The relevant provisions are usually set by the responsible local fisheries committee.

A typical formulation is for example:

"A maximum of 3 game fish per day and 10 per calendar week may be taken."
