Spearfishing (ribolov podvodnom puškom) is legal in Croatia but allowed ONLY under a sport fishing licence (sportska dozvola) issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and sold through clubs affiliated with the Croatian Federation for Sport Fishing at Sea (HSSRM). It is not permitted on a recreational (rekreacijska) licence. Strict conditions apply: minimum age 16, free-diving (breath-hold) only with diving apparatus / scuba strictly prohibited, daylight only (from sunrise to sunset), a mandatory signal buoy, and a daily catch limit of 5 kg per fisher (plus one fish exceeding it). Up to two spearguns per fisher are allowed; towing a diver by boat and use of an underwater scooter are forbidden. Spearfishing/fishing is banned in protected national parks (e.g. Kornati, Brijuni, Mljet, Krka), special reserves, certain river estuaries and bays, and in harbours, ports, public beaches and bathing areas (the latter seasonally from 1 May to 1 October).

ملاحظات الباحث
Spearfishing is legal but restricted to a SPORT licence (not the recreational licence). Core restrictions (sport-only, age 16, free-diving only, daylight only, diver marking) are set in the Marine Fisheries Act art. 31, and the 5 kg/day limit in art. 33. The current implementing Rulebook is NN 48/2026 (in force May 2026), which delegates speargun restrictions to the Act and adds prohibitions on boat-towing and underwater scooters (art. 9). License fees are from the Pravilnik fee table (čl. 6); some figures (e.g. 150-day adult = 79.63 EUR, annual adult = 46.45 EUR) were read from the official PDF and may carry minor OCR uncertainty. Verbatim legal text for art. 31 and 33 was obtained from zakon.hr; verbatim Rulebook text from the official NN 48/2026 PDF hosted by HSSRM. Protected-area and harbour/beach prohibitions are corroborated by multiple secondary sources but exact park boundaries/coordinates are approximate centroids, not legal coordinates. Closed seasons and minimum sizes for individual species are governed by a separate species-protection regulation not fully captured here.
