5 AAC 41.270. Fish ticket; reporting requirement and annual report

(1) an estimate of the number of pounds of wild stock the aquatic farm permit holder intends to sell;

(2) where the first place of landing will be; and

(3) the anticipated time of the landing.

(b) An aquatic farm permit holder must allow an inspection of the permit holder's harvest of wild stock by an employee of the department or a peace officer of the state upon request.

(c) An aquatic farm permit holder who harvests wild stock from the permit holder's farm site must complete an ADF&G fish ticket at the time of harvest. At the time of harvest, the ADF&G fish ticket must include the
