Undersized Bass Order 1989 (S.I. No. 1285 of 1989).

This Order declares the landing in Great Britain of bass of a size of less than 36 centimetres to be an offence. It imposes a stricter minimum landing size for bass landed and, by virtue of section 1(3) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967, carried by British fishing boats, than that contained in Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3094/86, laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources. The Order provides for an exemption for the landing of bass from fishing boats other than British fishing boats. British sea-fishery officers are given enforcement powers in relation to boats to which this Order applies.
