The closed seasons are legally defined periods in which certain fish species may not be caught. This regulation serves to protect the fish during the spawning season, i.e. the phase in which they reproduce. During this sensitive period, the fish should remain undisturbed in order to secure the stocks in the long term.
Each species of fish has its own closed season, which can also vary depending on the federal state. It is therefore important to find out exactly what the regional closed seasons are before every fishing trip.
In addition to the closed seasons, the minimum size also plays an important role in fishing. The minimum size indicates the minimum size a fish must have reached before it can be caught. Smaller fish must be put back into the water to give them a chance to reach reproductive age and contribute to the preservation of the stock.
There are also differences in the minimum sizes between the federal states, and they vary depending on the type of fish. To avoid penalties and to contribute to species protection, anglers should always find out about the minimum sizes in their region.
Closed seasons and minimum sizes are not only legal requirements, but also an ethical obligation for responsible anglers. They make a significant contribution to preserving fish stocks in German waters and maintaining the ecological balance. By adhering to these rules, you protect the fish population and ensure that a rich fish stock is maintained in the future.
Violations of closed seasons and minimum sizes can result in severe penalties. It is therefore important for anglers to keep themselves informed about current regulations and to implement them when fishing.
In Germany, there is no uniform regulation for closed seasons and minimum sizes. Instead, these regulations vary from state to state. Each state has its own fishing laws that determine the closed seasons and minimum sizes.
