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.
