ILLEGAL: Unauthorized Transfer or Stocking of Any Fish

 

What is the problem?

  • Introduced species can prey on resident fish species and compete for food and space

  • New species disrupt natural ecosystems.

  • They can introduce diseases and parasites to native fish.

 

 What can you do?

  •  Do not stock or move fish. It is illegal to transfer or stock any fish without authorization.

  • Be aware of bait regulations. It is illegal to use live fish as bait in most New Brunswick waters. Where use of live bait is legal, use bait from the body of water you are fishing. 

  •  Never release aquarium or pond fish into natural waters.
