Upon approval of a decontamination plan, a licence to fish for contaminated oysters is issued to a holder of a commercial oyster fishing licence or an aquaculturist. |
A relay fishing licence may also be issued to an aquaculturist who wishes to remove oysters of any size from an aquaculture lease in a restricted area and relay them to an aquaculture lease in an approved area. |
Except as otherwise indicated, the Department may allocate to a third party all of the same rights and privileges that had been granted to the aquaculturist. |
Any aquaculturist who accepts oysters less than 76 mm long onto their site, except in accordance with this policy, will have their variation orders immediately revoked. |
I might be the most picky aquaculturist in the state of Maine. |
Once the seeding is complete, the aquaculturist has to make regular visits to detect and control predation, monitor growth and survival, and check for vandalism and pilfering. |
