  • Tope Byelaw

    A tope byelaw has been proposed by the North Eastern Sea Fisheries Committee aimed at protecting the tope population of the area.



    1. No person shall remove from any fishery any tope of the species (Galeorhinus galeus) or part(s) thereof which is detached from the body.

    2. Any tope, if caught, shall be returned immediately to the sea in a position as near as possible to that part of the sea from which it was taken.

    The intention of this Byelaw is to protect tope from commercial over-exploitation within the Committee’s jurisdiction.


    As is usual the byelaw has gone out for consultation and responses should be sent to:

    The Minister for Fisheries
    Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
    6th Floor
    8 Whitehall Place
    London SW1A OAA

    This is a byelaw that directly affects our region and our future stocks. Comments on the byelaw need to be in by the 28th of this month and I would ask people to take a few minutes to write to

    The Minister for Fisheries
    Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
    6th Floor
    8 Whitehall Place
    London SW1A OAA

    In support of this byelaw and help counter any objections from commercial fishermen.
