§ 8581 Shark Swordfish Reporting Penalties

• •If you have a fishing license, you must report your shark or swordfish catches correctly.
• •If you don't report or lie about your catches, your license can be taken away.
• •The government can ask to suspend or revoke your license if you break this rule.

A fisherman catches a swordfish but doesn't report it to the authorities.

Because he didn't report his catch like the law says, his fishing license can be suspended or taken away.
