These Regulations provide for the management of fishing for scallops, i.e. the use of dredges resulting in the retention on board or landing of a quantity in kilograms live weight of scallop greater than 10 percent of the total quantity in kilograms live weight of all other marine organisms retained on board or landed. The Regulations adopt provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1415/2004, in so far as they relate to scallop, within the exclusive fishery limits of the State. The Minister may restrict, through an individual allocation to an Irish sea-fishing boat, the number of fishing days that such boat may fish for scallops in the specified area, or any part thereof, for such period as the Minister may decide. The calculation and allocation of fishing days shall be done in accordance with specified criteria. The transfer of fishing days between Irish sea-fishing boats is prohibited. The Regulations provide for the prosecution of offences.
