(a) Species.--The commission shall determine which species of fish are allowed to be propagated in each watershed. On or before January 31 of each year, the commission shall supply the department a current list of species approved for propagation and the conditions under which each species may be cultured. As the commission approves a new species for propagation throughout the year, it shall notify the department of the species and watersheds. Except triploid and other nonreproducing forms, species may be propagated in the same watersheds within which they are allowed to be stocked.
(b) Initial list of approved species.--Except for those species of fish allowed for stocking only in a triploid or other nonreproducing form, the initial list of approved species shall include all species approved for artificial propagation or stocking by watershed as listed by the commission on January 1, 1995. Requirements for special conditions to culture certain species will be retained until modified. The initial list shall be submitted to the department within 60 days of the effective date of this chapter.
(c) Closed systems.--Special regulations shall be promulgated regarding the cultural methods for species of fish allowed to be propagated in systems which do not discharge water into waters of this Commonwealth. Systems whose discharge of water is rendered incapable of containing self-perpetuating living organisms may be registered for any species of fish with approval by the department.
