Register a person's fishing activities in the eel register

If you want to catch eels for commercial purposes, you must register as a person with the competent authority.

If you as an individual wish to catch eels for commercial purposes, you must first register with the competent authority. The competent authority registers the persons who catch eels for commercial purposes under a registration number in the fisheries register.

• You register the eel fishery with the competent authority before commencing your activity.
• They state whether they fish in coastal or inland waters and narrow down the fishing area.
• The notification is informal and registration takes place after you have submitted the formal application to the competent authority.
• You will then receive a registration number.
