NECESSITY,
FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: This administrative regulation is necessary in order
to control the flow of live fish from and into natural waters and commercial
channels to prevent the spread of disease or undesirable species. This
amendment is necessary to eliminate unnecessary and confusing wording.
