Fish Culture Licences were granted under Section 15 of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959. Section 15 was repealed by the 1997 Fisheries (Amendment) Act and Fish Culture Licences are no longer issued. Fish Culture Licences granted prior to the 1997 Act can continue to operate under Section 75 of that Act.
