Regulation No. 29 on salmon fishing.

This Regulation of the Government of Greenland establishes rules for salmon (Salmo salar) fishing within Greenland’s territory, distinguishing between commercial and non-commercial fishing. It requires licenses for both, sets eligibility criteria, and restricts fishing areas, methods, and equipment (e.g., limits on nets, mesh sizes, and distances from river mouths). Annual quotas and start dates are determined by Naalakkersuisut based on international agreements, biological advice, and consultations. Catch reporting is mandatory, including zero catches, and all violations can lead to criminal sanctions. Special stricter rules apply to fishing in the Kapisillit River, where only licensed private fishing with rods is allowed under regulated conditions.
