Rules on natural waters
Don't put it back in the water
An invasive North American species. Its almost identical relative, the black bullhead, is on the EU list of species that may not be released into the environment.
The rules above are for natural waters (rivers, lakes, the Danube), where you also need a permit. On a private lake the lake's rules apply: many are catch & release or have their own limits.
