Fishing and landing of oysters is prohibited in the fjord from 15 May to 31 August and certain fishing gear regulations apply to specific fishing areas (fishing baskets not to occur in more than 3 meters depth). Oysters weighting less than 60 gr. shall be returned live into the waters. Landing may include 10% weight of mussels only.
