4 Va. Admin. Code § 20-890-30 - Minimum size limits
A. It shall
be unlawful for any person to possess more than 10 channeled whelk that measure
less than 5-1/2 inches in length in any inspected basket, except as described
in subsection D of this section.
B.
Any police officer may fill one basket with channeled whelk for inspection from
a single container or from within a vehicle, trailer, or the inside open part
of the boat. The officer may inspect multiple baskets but must finish
inspecting a basket before inspecting another. In the event the officer cannot
fill a basket from a single container, the officer may fill the basket from any
other single container in order to determine any violation of the possession
limit of sublegal size channeled whelk.
C. Those undersized whelk in excess of the
allowance level, as described in subsection A of this section, shall be
returned immediately to the water alive.
D. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the
possession of sublegal size channeled whelk imported from other states or
jurisdictions, provided the following conditions are met:
1. Such imports shall have been landed in
another state or jurisdiction and shall not have been imported into Virginia by
waterborne transport.
2. Such
imported channeled whelk are accompanied by a bill of sale that shall include
the name of the seller, address and phone number of the seller, the license
number of the seller if such license is required in the jurisdiction of
harvest, the date of sale, and the quantity of channeled whelk purchased under
the bill of sale.
