KRS 150.520: Department may regulate musseling.

The department shall make such requirements by administrative regulations governing the

taking, selling, and buying of mussels and the reporting of musseling operations as it may

deem best for the proper enforcement of this chapter. To prevent depletion of the mussel

beds and to insure proper propagation of the mussels, the department may close any beds

to operators at any time and for such length of time as it deems necessary. During such

closed season on any bed no one shall take mussels therefrom. When a n order is issued

closing any mussel bed, due notice of the same shall be published pursuant to KRS

Chapter 424.
