Résumé

The subclasses of aquaculture licences issued by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food are (1) land-based; and (2) aquatic. A land-based aquaculture licence authorizes the carrying on of aquaculture in an artificial cultivation or raising unit, such as a basin or an artificial lake. An aquatic aquaculture licence authorizes the carrying on of aquaculture in a natural lake or watercourse, or offshore. The subclasses of fishing pond licences issued by the Minister are (1) permanent; (2) temporary; and (3) mobile. A permanent fishing pond licence authorizes the regular operation of a fishing pond having a basin that cannot be moved. A temporary fishing pond licence authorizes the operation, for less than 21 consecutive days, of a fishing pond having a basin that cannot be moved. That licence may be issued only to the holder of a land-based aquaculture licence. A mobile fishing pond licence authorizes the operation, for not more than 12 months, of a fishing pond having a basin capable of being moved from one location to another. A person applying to the Minister for the issue of a licence must apply in writing and submit (1) the person’s name and address and, in the case of a legal person, a partnership, an association or a body, the name of the representative; (2) the name under which the undertaking is operated, if different from the name in paragraph 1; (3) the business number assigned under the Act respecting the legal publicity of enterprises (chapter P-44.1); (4) except in the case of an application for a mobile fishing pond licence, the address of the proposed site of operations; (5) the person’s telephone number and fax number, if any; and (6) the class and subclass of the licence applied for. The application must be signed by the person concerned or the person’s representative. Not later than 15 February of each year, holders of an aquaculture licence and a permanent fishing pond licence must provide the Minister with a report on their activities for the preceding calendar year which must include (1) any change in the information required by section 3; (2) the production of the aquatic organisms cultivated, raised or kept in captivity for each species according to number or weight and size or age category, including (a) total supplies; (b) annual production of seeds, eggs, spats, cuttings, rhizomes, stolons or tubers and the total number of eggs or spats harvested; (c) cumulative losses; (d) in the case of an aquaculture licence, total sales broken down according to the purposes for which the aquatic organisms are to be used; (e) the estimated biomass of remaining fish at the end of the calendar year; and (f) in the case of a fishing pond licence, i. the total number of fish caught by fishers; and ii. the quantity of fish disposed of pursuant to the second paragraph of section 40; (3) the food used by food type, whether as dry or semi-moist food, live products or fertilizers, including product names and total quantities used; and (4) in the case of a land-based aquaculture licence, measurement of the operation’s average water flow rate. The licence holder must submit the annual fees payable under Chapter II with the annual report.
