Morrison:
I sell fish for pond stocking. I also sell Triploid Grass Carp for pond stocking. I purchase the Aquaculture License and the Fish Haulers License every year, but I see that there is a "Bait Dealers License".
INDIANA BAIT DEALER’S LICENSE REGULATIONS
IC 14-22-16
Chapter 16. Bait Dealer's License

(b) The fee for a license is as follows:
(1) Ten dollars ($10) for residents.
(2) Fifty dollars ($50) for nonresidents.
IC 14-22-16-2
Issuance
Sec. 2. The director:
(1) may, after investigation, issue a license to the applicant; or
(2) shall, if the applicant is engaged in hatching and raising the applicant's own

IC 14-22-16-3

Sec. 3. A license expires December 31 following the date of issue.
IC 14-22-16-4
Permit to possess minnows or crayfish
Sec. 4. A person desiring to possess in Indiana at one (1) time more than:
(1) five hundred (500) live minnows; or
(2) five hundred (500) live crayfish;
not intended for the purpose of engaging in the business of taking, catching, selling, or
bartering live minnows or crayfish for bait must procure a permit to possess the minnows
or crayfish.
“Minnow” is defined as:
(1) Species of the minnow family Cyprinidae, except the following:
(A) exotic species identified at 312 IAC 9-6-7; and
(B) endangered species identified at 312 IAC 9-6-9.
(2) The following species:
(A) Sucker;
(B) Brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans);
(C) Gizzard shad;
(D) Threadfin shad; and,
(E) Alewife.
Live gizzard shad, threadfin shad and alewife may only be collected, used, possessed, and
disposed of in accordance with 312 IAC 9-6-8.
I will have more than 500 of live minnows in the minnow family Cyprinidae or live crayfish at a time for stocking ponds.
The question is do I also need a Bait Dealers License here in the state of Indiana? Second question. What is the definition of "Bait" in Indiana? i.e. "Sec. 1. (a) A person engaging in or continuing to engage in the business of selling or
bartering live minnows or crayfish for bait shall file an application with the division for a
bait dealer's license."
Thanks,
Scott
