(2) Except as provided in section (3) of this rule, a Scientific Taking Permit issued by the Department to any agency, corporation, association or other such entity of which one or more members may engage in the taking of fish, will be issued in the name of the entity. It shall be the responsibility of the entity to provide a copy of the permit to each member who intends to take fish and to have the member sign the permit copy on the signature line provided.

(a) The proposed taking lacks scientific or educational merit or would adversely affect the fish populations of this state; or

(b) The applicant violated any term of any license or permit issued by the Department.
