Abstract
The Order sets rules on shrimp-fishing (pandalus borealis) and the requirement for the need of a license. The permit may be issued with no time limit and applies to fishing activities carried out by individuals or companies. Their vessels must measure a max of 75GT and must carry a logbook where to register all details of the catch. Catch must be stowed in the vessels in a way that each species can be identified by inspection. Some of these species must be separated from each other, whereby by-catch must be stowed separately and labeled. Once the 80% mark of the yearly quota has been reached, the Greenland Fishery License Control (GFLK) shall require buyers to notify exact place for immediate landing of the catch.
The Order consists of 11 Chapters: Scope (1); Terms of inshore fishing for shrimp (2); Tonnage limit (3); Unloading and seafood purchasing (4); Log book form (5); Stowage (6); Quota usage (7); Control (8); Exemptions (9); Measures (10); Entry into force (11).
