Closed Change the law to protect Zander fish

Closed on

Zander were released into the Great Ouse relief channel in 1963 and since then they have thrived and I feel are a great addition to our waterways.

There are conflicting views on the impact they have on our waterways and yet they are still persecuted. I believe this is cruel and unfair on such an amazing fish.

The law should be changed to stop electrofishing of Zander and removing them from our waterways.
