Quebec Fishery Regulations, 1990

41 (1) Every person who catches and retains an Atlantic salmon shall, within 48 hours after leaving the fishing location or immediately if requested to do so by a fishery officer, register the salmon in accordance with subsections (2) to (4).

(2) The person shall register the Atlantic salmon at the registration station that has been established for the body of water in which the salmon was caught by presenting their fishing licence and the salmon, either whole or gutted, and allowing a sample to be taken or an examination to be made for scientific purposes.

(3) If the registration station is not in operation, the person shall register the Atlantic salmon by using any self-registration procedure that is available at the station — including by completing and signing any required form in accordance with the instructions given and depositing it in the indicated location — or, if self-registration is not available, by using any remote registration procedure that has been implemented for the station.

(4) If none of the methods of registration referred to in subsections (2) and (3) are available, the person shall register the Atlantic salmon using any remote registration procedure that is specified by the Minister.
