Remember:
We are a conservation society. We are not there to rape and pillage.
Take only as much as you need to display or breed. It is illegal to sell fish from the wild without a licence.
An important part of each field trip is to survey and record the water conditions and what we find, and any assistance with this task will be appreciated.
