Regulation
Abstract
This Regulation of the Government of Greenland governs salmon fishing within Greenlandic waters. It establishes rules for both commercial and non-commercial fishing, requiring licenses for commercial activity, limiting gear types (such as net mesh sizes and number of nets), and setting quotas that are annually determined by the government in line with international agreements. All catches must be reported to Greenland’s Fisheries License Control, whether from licensed commercial fishers or residents engaged in non-commercial fishing. The regulation also defines conditions for sale, restricts exports without government permission, and sets penalties for violations, including fines and confiscation under Greenland’s criminal law.
