Abstract

These Regulations place restrictions on the landing of monkfish by Irish fishing boats. They establish landing controls for all Irish sea-going fishing boats fishing for monkfish and establish designated ports of landing for all Irish and foreign boats landing more than 750 kg of monkfish. Landing of a quantity of monkfish in excess of 150 kilograms shall be notified to the sea fisheries protection officer. If required by a sea fisheries protection officer, the master of an Irish sea fishing boat, wherever it may be, shall seek approval from a sea fisheries protection officer before he or she lands or tranships monkfish in a port or landing place. Landing or transhipping by Irish or foreign boats in excess of 750 kilograms of monkfish in the State shall only be done at specified ports or landing. The master of an Irish sea fishing boat, wherever it may be, shall ensure that monkfish is stored separately from other fish retained on board the sea fishing boat and is displayed on the vessel stowage plan.
