Section 49-7 - Types of Fish Stocking Each fish species transported shall be held in separate containers to facilitate species identification unless the fish in the container are to be stocked into one (1) individual stocking site authorized for multiple species of game fish and all game fish in the container are released at that site. Nongame species shall be held in separate containers from game fish.
(a) Game Fish Stocking. Fish shall meet the size requirements specified on the Private Fish Stocking Authorization by the Department to facilitate species identification.
(b) Nongame Fish Stocking. - (i) Vegetation Control. Only grass carp (Ctenopharygodon idellus) that are Coulter counter certified triploid by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, certified free of Asian tapeworm (Bothriocephalus acheilognathi) and are from a source certified free of all life stages of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) shall be authorized for stocking to control aquatic vegetation. A copy of these certifications must be provided to the Department at least ten (10) working days prior to stocking.
- (ii) Mosquito control. Only plains topminnow (Fundulus sciadicus) or plains killifish s(Fundulus zebrinus) shall be authorized for stocking to control mosquitoes.
