They shall not apply within a game reserve or a national park. The Regulations prohibit commercial fishing without a commercial fishing licence and prescribe that only a citizen of Botswana may undertake subsistence fishing. Subsistence fishing shall be carried out only with specified gear in drying out pools on flood plains. The Regulations also set out procedures for obtaining a commercial fishing licence and prescribe rules for commercial fishing. Restrictions are placed on the trade in and use of gill nets. The Director of Wildlife and National Parks may, acting in accordance with such directions as may be given by the Minister, grant permits authorising the - (a) capturing of any fish for the breeding or farming of such fish; (b) issuance of fishing quotas; or (c) use of larger or smaller mesh sizes where necessary depending on the situation and reasons given. Also, recreational fishing, moving of live fish from one water body to another water body, and export of fresh or processed fish requires a permit.
