Fish and Game Code

The department must assess salmon escapement on the Eel, Smith, and Klamath River systems, use sonar fish-counting devices on the Klamath River as a three-year test, and report to the Legislature by January 1, 1990. People who process or wholesale sturgeon eggs for human consumption must get a sturgeon egg processing license from the department. The department must issue and deliver a sturgeon egg processing license when an application is made and the base fee is paid. Licensed persons must keep a true, legible record of each sturgeon egg transaction and include specified details about the eggs and related parties. The license holder must keep the documentation required by Section 10002 for two years after receiving the eggs and make it available to the department for inspection during normal business hours.
