Spearfishing (pesca submarina) is legal in Uruguay as a form of recreational/sport fishing (pesca deportiva). Under Article 44 of the Responsible Fishing Law (Ley N° 19.175 of 2013), sport fishing 'may be exercised freely' except where particular zones, species, periods or fishing gear require a prior fishing permit, as regulated by the Executive Power on the proposal of DINARA. There is no general national spearfishing-specific statute; the activity is governed by the general recreational-fishing framework plus species-specific closures (notably the recurring annual precautionary closure on corvina negra, Pogonias chromis) and minimum landing sizes. Uruguay has an active CMAS-affiliated underwater federation (FUAS) that organises spearfishing competitions and hosted the 2021 World Spearfishing Championship. No retrievable source confirms a national statutory ban on scuba/autonomous breathing apparatus for spearfishing specifically; the FUAS page describes pneumatic spearguns, lights and night spearfishing as prohibited 'in many countries' generically rather than citing a Uruguayan prohibition, so these points are marked unknown rather than asserted.

- Per Art. 44 of Ley N° 19.175 and Art. 18 of Decreto 115/018, sport fishing (which includes spearfishing) may be exercised freely; a fishing permit (permiso de pesca) is only required where specific zones, species, periods or gear are subject to restriction by DINARA. Recreational/shore fishers and artisanal fishers are exempt from the project-permit requirements. Researchers report no general recreational licence registry exists.

장비 & 기술
장비 규정
허용되는 장비, 사용 방법, 그리고 부수 조건.
제한 사항
- Explosives and toxic/anaesthetic substances are prohibited in all fishing (Ley N° 13.833 Art. 13; Decreto 149/997 Art. 45)
- Standard spearfishing gear is used and recognised by the national federation FUAS: rubber-powered speargun (fusil de gomas), spear/harpoon (arpón), pole spear (fisga), mask, fins, wetsuit, weights, knife and dive flag
No retrievable Uruguayan statute specifically permits or bans scuba/autonomous breathing apparatus (escafandra autónoma / equipo autónomo) for spearfishing; scuba_allowed left null pending an authoritative national source. The FUAS page notes that pneumatic spearguns, underwater lights and night spearfishing are prohibited 'in many countries' but does not cite a Uruguayan prohibition, so those are not asserted here.

조사자 메모
Spearfishing in Uruguay is legal as a category of recreational/sport fishing (pesca deportiva), exercised freely under Art. 44 of Ley N° 19.175 and Art. 18 of Decreto 115/018 except where DINARA imposes zone/species/season/gear restrictions. There is no retrievable Uruguay-specific statute that singles out spearfishing gear (e.g. a national scuba ban or pneumatic-speargun ban); such points are deliberately left null/unknown rather than guessed. The most consequential live restriction for divers is the recurring annual precautionary closure on corvina negra (Pogonias chromis), which bans its extraction by any method in rivers, streams and coastal-lagoon mouths roughly October to mid-January each year. Minimum landing sizes (Decreto 149/997) and prohibited destructive methods (explosives/toxics) apply generally. Daily bag limits and a precise national list of recreational size limits were not retrievable, so they are marked unknown. Confidence is medium: the legal framework, the corvina negra closure and minimum sizes are confirmed verbatim from official IMPO/MGAP sources, but spearfishing-specific operational rules (scuba use, night diving, gear caps) are not codified in any source retrieved and would benefit from direct confirmation with DINARA or FUAS.
