As per California title 14, section 671:
As seen in subsection (1) ownership of barramundi for individuals can be legally done through the process of section 671.7 which is titled "Permits Requirements for Aquaculture and Fish". Within 671.7 subsection (f)(1) states:
"Live restricted species may be sold by Aquaculture or Fish permittees if both the seller and buyer hold a restricted species permit issued by the department for the species being sold and only if the permit(s) specifically authorize live sales."
However, I have seen several threads and shops that sell/sold live barramundi within the state of CA without the merchant checking for permits. Is this simply an oversight that agencies don't care about (private party transfer) or am I misunderstanding CA section 671 and it's subsection 671.7?
"Lates calcarifer (Barramundi also known as Barramundi perch or Silver barramundi) (D), except permits may be issued to a person or organization for importation, transportation, possession, or sales of barramundi under the following conditions:
1. All live importation, possession, transportation and sales must also adhere to the conditions set forth in Section 671.7.
2. Live retail sales for human consumption are allowed for barramundi that range from one to three pounds in weight or 300mm (11.8 inches) to 500 mm (19.6 inches) in total length."
