Fish and Game Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law stops transportation companies and their helpers from moving more animals than a person is allowed to keep in a day.

Key Takeaways

•Only the number of animals a person is allowed to keep can be moved.
•The rule applies to carriers and anyone they work for.
•Breaking the limit can lead to arrest or fines.

Example

A fisherman tries to load a truck with 30 trout, but the state bag limit for trout is 5 per day.

The truck driver (a common carrier) cannot accept or carry those extra trout because the law says they can only transport the amount a person is legally allowed to have in that time.
