The video record shall be made by using a video surveillance system that complies with all of the following requirements:

NR 25.09(2m)(a) (a)

NR 25.09(2m)(a)1.1. The system shall consist of not fewer than two cameras capable of recording video in color and infrared, at not less than 5 frames per second and 470 TV lines resolution. The licensee shall position one camera to clearly capture the area of the vessel in which fish are emptied from the bag of the trawl net, and the licensee shall position one camera to clearly capture the area of the vessel where incidentally caught fish are measured before being returned to the water. Placement of the cameras is subject to all of the following:

NR 25.09(2m)(a)1.a. a. The licensee shall place a measuring board with visible measuring units in inches near the bycatch chute, arranged so that each incidentally caught fish passes across the measuring board in a manner allowing determination of species and length in view of the camera prior to the fish's return to the water.

NR 25.09(2m)(a)1.b. b. Upon direction from the department, the licensee shall reposition any of the cameras if the activities identified in this paragraph are not visible or are unclear in any video record generated under this section after being viewed by the department under par. (c).

NR 25.09(3)(c) (c) Upon finding that a net has been lost, stolen or is missing, the owner or operator of the net shall immediately inform the department by notifying a department conservation warden. A net owner or operator who recovers a lost, stolen or missing net shall also immediately notify a department conservation warden of the recovery of the net.

NR 25.09(3)(d) (d) A commercial fisher who is engaged in fleet reporting shall display the fleet reporting number issued by the department on the buoys of all nets operated under the fleet reporting program of s. NR 25.135 in place of the individual commercial fishing license numbers.

NR 25.09(3)(e) (e)

NR 25.09(3)(e)1.1. All gill nets in the water and marked with a commercial fishing license number or a fleet reporting number shall count toward the total allowable gill net effort authorized under sub. (1) (am) or the linear feet of nets authorized under sub. (2) (a) 9.

NR 25.09(3)(e)2. 2. All entrapment gear in the water and marked with a commercial fishing license number or fleet reporting number shall count toward the total allowable number of nets under subs. (1) (b) 3. and (2) (b) 1. b. and 2. b., whether the pots are open or closed.

NR 25.09(3)(f) (f) After setting, moving, replacing, or recasting a trap net for whitefish in Green Bay or Lake Michigan and before starting for the dock or shore, the licensee, or a member of the licensee's crew, shall record all of the following in accordance with s. NR 25.13 (2) (at):

NR 25.09(3)(f)1. 1. The latitude and longitude at which the pot and lead line buoy of the net are set.

NR 25.09(3)(f)2. 2. A unique name for that trap net.

NR 25.09(4) (4) Net mesh measurement. Whenever the size of mesh of any net is specified in this chapter, the size shall be considered stretch measure.

NR 25.09(4)(a) (a) Stretch measure shall be determined by exerting a one pound strain on a mesh knot and measuring the mesh opening immediately above that knot on which the strain is applied from the inside edge of that knot to the inside edge of the knot directly opposite. Measurement shall be made by inserting the measuring device at the uppermost knot in the mesh and reading at the lowermost knot.

NR 25.09(4)(b) (b) The weight and measuring devices to be used under par. (a) shall be tested, approved and certified by the Wisconsin department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection, or other governmental entity authorized to do so.

NR 25.09(4)(c) (c) Measurement shall be made of meshes in a wet condition.

NR 25.09(4)(d) (d) If the majority of 10 or more meshes selected at random by the enforcement officer from any part or parts of the net are found to be illegal, the entire net shall be considered illegal and shall be seized and held subject to the order of the court.

NR 25.09(5) (5) Movement of commercial fishing gear.

NR 25.09(5)(a)(a) Except as provided in par. (bm), whenever any gill net lift, encircling net lift or trawl drag catches illegal fish of any species in an amount equal to 10% or more by weight or numbers of the total legal catch, the licensee shall immediately remove the net from the water, and may not reset, place, replace, recast, or operate the net during that same day unless:

NR 25.09(5)(a)1. 1. All parts of the net are moved a distance of at least 3 miles from that site; or

NR 25.09(5)(a)2. 2. Moved to a water depth where no part of the net is within 30 feet (5 fathoms) in depth of the water depth at which the catch of illegal fish was made.

NR 25.09(5)(bm) (bm) When trawling for whitefish from August 1 to 31 pursuant to sub. (2) (d) 2. d., all of the following requirements apply:

NR 25.09(5)(bm)1. 1.

NR 25.09(5)(bm)2. 2. Notwithstanding the requirement in subd. 1., when a single trawling vessel catches a daily average of at least 2 lake sturgeon, or a daily average of 10 to 49.9% by weight of incidental catch of illegal fish and any whitefish returned to the water, out of the dressed whitefish reported harvested by weight in a single week from Sunday to Saturday, the licensee may not reset, replace, recast, or operate any trawl during the following week unless the licensee moves and operates all parts of the trawl a distance of at least 6 miles from that site.

NR 25.09(5)(bm)3. 3. Notwithstanding the requirements in subds. 1. and 2., when a single trawling vessel catches 3 or more lake sturgeon or catches more than 50% by weight of incidental catch of illegal fish and any whitefish returned to the water out of the dressed whitefish reported harvested by weight in a single day, the licensee shall cease all trawling activities for the following 3 days.

NR 25.09(5)(bm)4. 4. The following formula shall be used to determine the percentage of incidental catch of illegal fish out of the reported whitefish harvest for the purposes of subds. 1. to 3.: [((number of whitefish x 1.37) + (number of lake trout and other incidentally caught species x 5.86)) / reported whitefish harvest in pounds] x 100.

NR 25.09 Note Note: Weights are determined for incidental catch based on average fish weights.

NR 25.09(6) (6) Lake Superior open water permit. The department may issue a permit authorizing the setting of nets from a boat or watercraft in the waters of Lake Superior for specific time periods during the period of January 15 to March 31 if it determines that open water conditions exist and weather forecasts predict that there will be adequate time to recover the nets prior to ice formation.
