Welcome to the Fish Transport Permit page

A Fish Transport Permit is required to transport, hold or release live fish, eggs or marine invertebrates. Some exceptions apply. For the complete description of Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) for Fish Transport, refer to OAR 635-007-0600 through 635-007-0625. Transport permits are required under the following conditions:

  • Transport of live fish, eggs or marine invertebrates between facilities.
  • Transport of live fish, eggs, or marine invertebrates to an Oregon facility from a waterbody (see special conditions under Marine Species).
  • Release of live fish, eggs, or marine invertebrates to a waterbody in the state of Oregon, including the ocean.

You must obtain a Fish Transport Permit before transporting live fish, eggs or marine invertebrates. Repeat shipments between facilities may be eligible for coverage under a single permit. Separate transport permits are required for each release site.
