Abstract

These Regulations implement the Eel Management Plans prepared by the Department and approved by the European Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 establishing measures for the recovery of the stock of European eel. The Regulations, among other things, place restrictions on the use of fishing engines, prescribe the minimum size of eels which may be taken, provide for the return of undersized eels to the waters from which they were taken after eel catches are graded, prescribe an annual close season and make consequential amendments of the Fisheries Regulations (NI) 2003 (formerly Byelaws).
