Act No. 3 of 1951 relative to the marketing of raw fish.

This Act provides for the control of turnover of fish in sales immediately after catch. "Fish" in this Act includes herring, sprat and shellfish, as well as parts and by-products of fish. The Government may rule that processing, sale or exportation of certain fish species may not take place if the first sale of those fish was not handled by an appointed fishermen's sales organization or carried out with approval of that organization. This rule may also apply to the importation of living or fresh fish, including fish landed by a foreign vessel. The rule may be limited for certain catch originating from specified fishing grounds or brought on land in certain ports. Section 3 contains rules relative to sales organizations and lays down requirements which such organizations shall meet. These sales organizations may impose restrictions on the catch of certain species in specified areas if management and conservation of fish stock requires so. Some measures shall only be taken with the approval of the Department of Fisheries. (11 sections)
