NAL Call No.
41.8 D482
Through improper application of electrofishing techniques
fish may be harmed severely. The injuries can range from inner bleeding to
broken vertebrae. Due to these possible injuries each electrofishing procedure
requires approval of the fisheries authorities. Only persons with a special
license are allowed to fish with electricity. The fisheries authorities only
approve electrofishing for reasons stated in the fisheries laws. If an
application to fish with electricity is approved, the permission is restricted
to certain persons, certain equipment units, certain stretches of water and
clearly outlined goals. Damages to fish can be reduced to a minimum by the
strict regulations of the fisheries authorities and by the training of the
fishermen.

The legislative frame of animal welfare in fishing is
built by the German Animal Protection Act. It is completed by different States'
legislation on fishing, which essential parts are based on a number of judicial
decisions concerning this subject. To be acquainted with the legal directions
is of course a necessity for game fishers. Nevertheless, the real attitude in
conformity with the rules of animal protection is determined by a comprehensive
knowledge of the species fish and its aqueous biotope. In the Federal Republic
of Germany an official fishing license is acquired after a special examination,
which gives certain guarantee of experience in this field. In practice,
however, a lot of deficiencies are observed in handling this vertebrate. As a
consequence, we seek a game fisher who is familiar with our native fish fauna
and its biotope, who is responsible with the fish
creatures and aims at maintaining a healthy and species-rich fish stock in our
waters.
