Abstract
The Carinthian Fishing Fair Practice Regulation defines ethical fishing and prohibits practices such as using longlines (except for scientific purposes), draining waters to catch fish, using traps and nets in rivers (with exceptions for crayfish), using more than two rods, unattended fishing gear, and inappropriate fish holding. While net fishing is generally considered unethical, it is allowed in specific lakes (e.g., Wörthersee, Millstätter See) and for scientific or breeding purposes, provided seasonal restrictions, mesh size minimums, and area limits are observed. Fishers must inspect nets daily, mark buoyed nets clearly, permit official inspections, and possess valid licenses. The text contains 4 articles.
