Abstract
This Regulation of the Government of Greenland governs salmon fishing within Greenland’s fishing territory. It distinguishes between commercial and non-commercial fishing, requiring licenses for the former and restricting gear types, mesh sizes, and vessel lengths. Commercial fishing is quota-based, managed by Naalakkersuisut, and subject to reporting requirements, while sales outside Greenland need special approval. Non-commercial fishing is limited to residents, subject to similar gear restrictions, and must also be reported. Both categories require catches to be reported to Greenland’s Fisheries License Control. Violations can lead to fines and confiscation under Greenland’s Criminal Code.
