State Aquaculture and Transport Regulations:

Nebraska fish import regulations vary depending on whether fish are going to a commercial aquaculture facility or to a put and take fishery. Out-of-state dealers are required to obtain a non-resident fish dealer's liscense. Importation of salmonid eggs, largemouth bass, and yellow perch require additional permit/fish health certification through the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission. Slamonids can only be imported as eggs and must be health certified.

See Nebraska Administrative Code Title 163 Chapter 2
