|
| |
“(2) If a person—
|
| |
(a) shoots, draws or stretches a net across the mouth or across any other part of a river, and
|
| |
(b) fails to leave open a channel which is—
|
| |
(i) at least one-quarter of the width of the mouth of the river or, as the case may be, of that other part of the river, and
|
| |
(ii) of sufficient depth and width to facilitate the passage of salmon in that river,
|
| |
he shall be guilty of an offence against this Act.”.
