FISH AND GAME CODE

SECTION 15200-15202

15200. The commission may regulate the placing of aquatic plants
and animals in waters of the state. Movement of live fish between two
registered aquaculturists who are registered for those species does
not require a permit.

15201. A permit is required to place fish on public or private land
or water in any watershed above an established public or private
fish hatchery. The department shall deny the permit if there is
evidence that water quality and potential disease transfers will be
adverse to the established hatchery.

15202. The commission may prohibit the placement of specific
species of aquatic plants or animals in designated waters of the
state. The prohibition may not include species that are found to be
native or that are stocked by the state in a location where
prohibition is contemplated.
