Abstract

Amendments of the principal Act concern interpretations, powers of the Minister to make by-laws, saving for Acts done for artificial propagation, scientific purposes or improvement of fisheries, qualification of conservators, the Salmon Conservancy Fund, use of nets, dealing in salmon, powers of inspection and detention on sea fisheries protection officers, etc. The Minister may by bye-law authorize, subject to such conditions as he thinks proper, the placing, erection, fishing with and use of any fixed engine for the capture of eels, at any specified place in tidal waters (sect. 11). The Minister may, if he so thinks fit and subject to such conditions (if any) as he may specify, grant exemption either for a limited time or without limitation as to time in relation to a specified fishing weir or fishing mill dam used solely for the capture of eels from the provisions of Section 114 which relates to the construction of guiding walls appurtenant to fishing weirs and fishing mill clams. Where the Minister, having regard to any international agreement to which the State is a party, is satisfied that it is necessary so to do, the Minister may by order prescribe and adopt such measures of conservation of fish stocks and rational exploitation of fisheries as the Minister thinks proper (sect. 35).
