Any Catch and Kill regulation in all of Alberta?

[PerchFisherman]

Just curious.

[BeeGuy]

Only for poachers as far as I know

[Pudelpointer]

Huh? Please explain what you are asking.

[Lazerloop]

I think there is a book with all kinds of information in it. I believe they give it to you when you buy your fishing license. its called the alberta regs.

I don't believe there is, although if any of those nasty invasives like snakeheads or jumping carps were to populate, I would hope they'd institute the right regulation.

Sooooo, you appear to understand. How 'bout translating for everyone else?

Some stocked trout ponds around Edmonton had some catch and kill's going for invasive perch....That might be the answer your looking for?? :confused0024:

[Thundercatcher]

What, there are a lot of lakes that you can keep the fish

Catch and Kill is the opposite of catch and release... Means they implement that if you catch the species you should kill it.

Perch in a trout pond is probably the only place you will run across something like this in Alberta(Lake Sundance for example).

I think he means mandatory catch and kill, where releasing a fish has been banned?

An aside to the one reply above: This definitely does not apply to the perch infested, trout stocked pothole lakes. If my reading of the regs correctly, many (all?) of those trout-perch lakes, you are prohibited from keeping perch. You must release all the perch. I believe this borrowed from the regs in place in several lakes in BC; the philosophy being that if you don't allow people to keep the perch, you remove the incentive or motivation to illegally stock them in the first place.

Anyhow, the mandatory catch and kill would be one strategy to try for invasive species, be it fish, mammals, weeds, birds, etc.

Perhaps this question is a follow-up to the "Kill Alberta Brook trout" thread.

On the other hand, if the original post was about if there was any place left in Alberta where you are allowed to keep fish, well, someone else answered that as well: there are plenty of places in AB where you are allowed a limit of fish.

Too bad the original question was worded so vaguely...

[WayneChristie]

there is for crayfish

[Sundancefisher]

should be for carp also.

[Bigdad013]

It's called a marriage, and it all catch and release....

[duffy4]

I believe in Australia if you catch a carp you must kill it. Same with cane toads, if you see one you are supposed to kill it.

When you catch your limit for the day they must be dead before leaving the lake , or body of water.
