According to the CITES Act 2008 (Act 626), Section 10 and 12, it is an offense if a scheduled fish species (Appendix 2) in Table 3 – Scheduled Species is possessed without a permit. However, for fish that have been preserved or acquired before this, the Department will implement the registration process for the purpose of fish authorisation soon.
Please refer to the nearest District or State Fisheries Office for more information.
