462 Exemption relating to receipt of fish for sale
A person is exempt from section 40(1)(b) of the Act in respect of the receipt of fish for sale by the person if—

the person keeps a copy of that catch disposal record or fish receipt at the place where the fish are received or possessed.
The requirements under subregulation (1)(b) and (c) in relation to a fish receipt do not apply to a person if the person from whom the fish was obtained is exempt under regulation 452 from the requirement to issue a fish receipt for the sale of the fish.
