    Summary:

    Any individual or legal entity that carries out fishing activities, as well as fishing vessels, must first be registered with the General Fishing Activity Registry (Registro Geral da Atividade Pesqueira - RGP). The owner, lessee or shipowner of a fishing vessel must apply to the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture for a Prior Fishing Permit* when they intend to build, import, convert, transform, acquire or register a fishing vessel.
