	(2)	The Minister may impose or vary conditions on licences in respect of the fishery fixing blue crab pot entitlements as follows:
	(a)	on the issue of a licence in respect of the fishery, a condition must be imposed on the licence fixing a blue crab pot entitlement calculated in accordance with the formula set out in subregulation (3);
	(b)	on the variation of a blue crab quota entitlement under a licence in respect of the fishery, the conditions of the licence must be varied so that the blue crab pot entitlement under the licence, as calculated in accordance with the formula set out in subregulation (3), reflects the variation in the unit entitlement under the licence;
	(c)	blue crab pot entitlements must not be varied except as provided by this subregulation.
	(3)	For the purposes of subregulation (2), the formula for calculating the blue crab pot entitlement under a licence is as follows:

where—
A is the blue crab pot entitlement expressed as a whole number (a number having a fraction of half or more being rounded up to the next whole number);
B is the unit entitlement under the licence;
C is the conversion value for the blue crab fishing zone to which the unit entitlement under the licence relates.
	(4)	The Minister may impose conditions on licences in respect of the fishery limiting the number of crab pots that may be carried on boats and otherwise regulating the carrying of crab pots used for fishing activities under the licences.
15—Individual blue crab catch quota system

	(2)	The Minister may impose or vary conditions on licences in respect of the Blue Crab Fishery or a marine scalefish fishery fixing blue crab quota entitlements as follows:
	(a)	on the issue of a licence in respect of the Blue Crab Fishery (a new licence), the licence may be allocated a number of blue crab units in respect of a blue crab fishing zone equal to the number of blue crab units in respect of that zone that was, immediately before the surrender of the licence in respect of the Marine Scalefish Fishery held by the applicant for the new licence, the subject of a condition of the licence in respect of the Marine Scalefish Fishery;
	(b)	on joint application made to the Minister by the holders of any 2 licences in respect of the Blue Crab Fishery subject to a condition fixing a blue crab quota entitlement in respect of the same blue crab fishing zone, the conditions of the licences may be varied so as to increase the unit entitlement in respect of that zone under 1 of the licences and decrease the unit entitlement in respect of that zone under the other licence by a corresponding number of units;
	(c)	on joint application made to the Minister by the holder of a licence in respect of the Blue Crab Fishery subject to a condition fixing a blue crab quota entitlement in respect of a particular blue crab fishing zone (the first licence) and the holder of a licence in respect of a marine scalefish fishery subject to a condition fixing a blue crab quota entitlement in respect of the same zone (the second licence)—
	(i)	the conditions of the first licence may be varied so as to decrease the unit entitlement under that licence in respect of that zone and the conditions of the second licence may be varied so as to increase the unit entitlement under that licence in respect of that zone by a corresponding number of units; or
	(ii)	the conditions of the first licence may be varied so as to increase the unit entitlement under that licence in respect of that zone and the conditions of the second licence may be varied so as to decrease the unit entitlement under that licence in respect of that zone by a corresponding number of units;
	(d)	on joint application made to the Minister by the holder of a licence in respect of the Blue Crab Fishery subject to a condition fixing a blue crab quota entitlement in respect of a particular blue crab fishing zone (the first licence) and the holder of a licence in respect of a marine scalefish fishery not subject to a condition fixing a blue crab quota entitlement (the second licence)—
	(i)	the conditions of the first licence may be varied so as to decrease the unit entitlement under that licence in respect of that zone; and
	(ii)	a corresponding number of units may be allocated to the second licence and a condition fixing a blue crab quota entitlement in respect of that zone may be imposed on that licence;
	(e)	if the total catch of blue crab taken by the holder of a licence in respect of the Blue Crab Fishery during a quota period exceeded the blue crab quota entitlement under the licence for that quota period, the conditions of the licence may be varied so as to decrease the quota entitlement—
	(i)	if the catch exceeded the quota entitlement by not more than 20 kilograms of blue crab—by 1 kilogram for each kilogram taken in excess of the quota entitlement; or
	(ii)	if the catch exceeded the quota entitlement by more than 20 kilograms but not more than 50 kilograms of blue crab—by 2 kilograms for each kilogram taken in excess of the quota entitlement;
	(f)	if—
	(i)	the holder of a licence in respect of the fishery is convicted of an offence of contravening a condition of the licence fixing a blue crab quota entitlement; and
	(ii)	the conduct constituting the offence involved the taking of more than 50 kilograms of blue crab in excess of the quota entitlement,
the conditions of the licence may be varied so as to reduce the blue crab quota entitlement under the licence for 3 quota periods following the conviction by 1 kilogram for each kilogram taken in excess of the quota entitlement for the quota period during which the offence was committed;
	(g)	a variation of a quota entitlement under paragraph (e) must be expressed to apply only for the quota period during which the variation is made.
	(3)	An application to vary unit entitlements must—
	(a)	be made in a manner and form approved by the Minister; and
	(b)	be signed by the applicants and completed in accordance with the instructions contained in the form; and
	(c)	be accompanied by the appropriate fee fixed by the Fisheries Management (Fees) Regulations 2007.
