Fishing rights shall be registered in the cadastre of waters intended for fishing. The cadastre shall be kept and periodically updated by the competent provincial fisheries office (art. 1, par. 2). Any kind of acquisition of fishing rights must be immediately notified to the competent provincial fisheries office within thirty days from the date of acquisition (art. 1, par. 6). Fishing rights related to public waters pertain to the Province, which may grant the concession to the competent Fisheries Counsel.
