Can my fish pond be electrified for fishing?

You can't. Electric fishing is an extinct predatory fishing of fishery resources, which is strictly prohibited by fishery laws and regulations in China. Although you fish in the river contracted by your family, the river is part of the country's natural resources.

Matters needing attention in contracting fish ponds:

1. Description of contracted fish pond.

The location, area and use of the contracted fish pond should be stated in the contract to avoid disputes arising from unclear agreement on the contracted fish pond in the future.

2. Term of the contract.

There is no relevant legal provisions on the contract period of fish ponds, which is usually agreed by both parties in the contract. Actually, the time limit is 1-3 years.

3. Contract fees and payment methods.

It is mainly to clearly stipulate the amount and payment time of the contract fee.

4. Contract fee reduction and exemption.

As a contractor, you can consider negotiating with the employer to stipulate in the contract that the contract fee will be reduced or exempted in case of force majeure such as natural disasters, so as to reduce your losses under the above circumstances.

5. Transfer of contracting right.

In order to avoid disputes arising from the transfer of contracting rights, the transfer of contracting rights can be stipulated in the contract. At the same time, it is also possible to stipulate the transfer fee charged by the contractor when transferring the contracting right.

6. Liability for breach of contract.

The contract should clearly stipulate the liability of both parties for breach of contract. As a contractor, the calculation method of losses caused by the other party's breach of contract should be clearly stipulated in the contract, so that if there is a dispute in the future, it will be convenient for compensation and safeguard their legitimate interests.

7. Priority contracting right.

As a contractor, it is necessary to consider whether it is necessary to stipulate the priority contract right after the contract expires.

8. Compensation agreement.

As a contractor, if you feel that your investment in the fish pond is too large and the contract period is short, you can consider giving appropriate compensation when the contract expires.

In addition, before signing the contract, you should know who the owner of the contracted fish pond is. Only the owner of the fish pond can sign a fish pond contract with the contractor.
