| Description: |
Every individual operating or assisting in the operation of any commercial fishing gear or commercial fishing boat must have a commercial fishing license or crewmember fishing license. Vessel operators often choose this license because it allows them to rotate crew members without having to purchase individual licenses for every one they hire. Every member of the crew on a commercial fishing boat must be licensed. Commercial harvesters must sell their catch to an Oregon-licensed whoelsale fish dealer, bait dealer, canner or buyer, except under a Limited Fish Seller's Permit, or a Columbia River gillnet harvester delivering to a licensed Washington fish dealer by boat.
