It is prohibited to carry out special use of aquatic biological resources on fishing vessels in the absence of vessel’s documents. Users of aquatic bioresources who engage in fishing are required to mark passive fishing gear, as well as active fishing gear. Marking of fishing gear must comply with the National Standard of Ukraine. Users of aquatic biological resources in the process of the special use of aquatic biological resources within the limits of the forecast of allowable catch are obliged to provide the territorial body of the State Fisheries Agency with operational information on the volume of extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources. Users of aquatic bioresources are obliged to urgently report cases of bycatch of aquatic bioresources, the species of which are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, to the territorial bodies of the State Fisheries Agency and territorial and interregional territorial bodies of the State Ecological Inspection. Spawning ban on specialized turbot fishing of the Black Sea is established from May 1 to May 30 and turbot, which was caught during other types of fishing during this period, is released into the sea, regardless of its viability. This Fishing Regime establishes authorized fishing gear and fishing methods.
