Non-native Fish Species as Seen by the Nature Conservation Act

The article deals with intentional introductions of geographically non-native fish species into the wild in the Czech Republic. It aims at geographically non-native species as defined by Act No. 114/1992 Gazette on the Protection of Nature and the Landscape, as amended later, in relation to definition of non-indigenous fish pursuant to Act No. 99/2004 Gazette on Fish Farming, Performance of Fishing Right, Fishing Inspection and Protection of Marine Fishing Resources and on Chang in Some Acts (the Fisheries Act), as amended later.

Furthermore, pursuant to the former act, the article summarizes obligations of anybody who intents to release geographically non-native species. Last but not least, the authors describe a role carried out by a State Nature Conservancy authority during administrative procedure on fish stocking and the correct order in the decision-making on non-indigenous fish species introductions.
