Zimbabwe
Africa · Eastern Africa
Zimbabwe is landlocked, so all spearfishing is freshwater (rivers, dams and lakes such as Lake Kariba). Fishing is governed nationally by the Parks and Wild Life Act [Chapter 20:14]. Section 93 of the Act expressly lists 'a spear' and 'a spear gun' among the authorized fishing gear that may be used in any waters, so spearfishing/underwater hunting of fish is legal in principle. However, it is restricted: under section 85 a person generally must hold a fishing permit issued by the appropriate authority for the waters concerned, and under section 93(2) that authority may, when issuing a permit, restrict which of the listed gear types (rod and line, hand line, spear, spear gun, basket trap) may be used. Section 87 separately prohibits killing fish with explosives, firearms, chemicals, poisons, jigs or electrical devices except under a special permit. No national statutory provision was found that imposes a blanket prohibition on the spear or spear gun, nor specific rules on use of breathing apparatus (scuba) for fishing; such conditions, where they exist, are set per-water by the appropriate authority and/or by Statutory Instruments and were not retrievable in full.

- 제한Tigerfish (Hydrocynus vittatus) and certain other species on Lake Karibaunknown – unknown
Secondary angling and tourism sources report that some Zimbabwean waters (notably Lake Kariba) observe a closed/restricted period for tigerfish and that fishing is restricted in some waters roughly October-January. Exact statutory dates were not retrievable from an official source and must be confirmed with the appropriate authority / Lake Kariba Fisheries Research Institute (LKFRI) before relying on them. Treat dates as unverified.

- 유형
- Fishing permit issued by the appropriate authority for the waters (e.g. Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority for State waters / the Parks and Wild Life Estate). Recreational/sport fishing permit covers fishing by authorized gear, which includes spear and spear gun under s.93.
- 비용
- Varies by water and permit class. Secondary tourism sources cite recreational fishing permits roughly US$10-20 for general waters; official tariff schedules (e.g. S.I. 108 of 2019, Tariff of Fees By-laws) list much higher fees for commercial/sport categories (e.g. Kariba shoreline sport fishing permits historically reported in the thousands of USD per year). Exact current spear/recreational fees not verified from an official machine-readable source.

제한 사항
- Spear and spear gun are expressly listed as authorized fishing gear in any waters under section 93(1)(b)-(c) of the Parks and Wild Life Act [Chapter 20:14].
- The appropriate authority may, when issuing a fishing permit, restrict the gear to one or more of the listed types (s.93(2)) – so a given water/permit may exclude spearfishing.
- Explosives, firearm discharge, chemicals/poisons/intoxicating substances, jigs and electrical devices for killing fish are prohibited except under special permit (s.87).
- No national rule found permitting or prohibiting the use of underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) for spearfishing; confirm with the appropriate authority.
Use of fishing nets is separately controlled (ss.91-92) and generally reserved to the appropriate authority or registered dealers. Gaffs, landing nets, keep-nets and bait throw-nets/traps to handle lawfully taken fish are not prohibited (s.93(3)).

일일 한도
Set per fishing permit. Under s.93(... fishing permit) and S.I. 362 of 1990 s.28(3), a fishing permit may limit the number and species of fish that may be taken. No single national numeric recreational bag limit was retrievable; limits depend on the water and permit.
Specific size limits, bag limits and protected/specially-protected fish species lists are set by permit conditions and by Statutory Instruments per water body and were not retrievable in full from an official source. The Act allows the Authority to prohibit a person from fishing for specified fish (s.96) and to control fish populations. Catch-and-release is widely recommended for tigerfish on Lake Kariba (secondary sources).

방문자 & 거주자
외국인 방문자와 현지 거주자에게 규정이 어떻게 다른지.
외국인 방문자
허용요건
- Obtain the applicable fishing permit from the appropriate authority / ZimParks for the waters to be fished, the same permit regime that applies to residents.
- Foreign/visitor (non-resident) fee tariffs may differ from resident tariffs under the Authority's Tariff of Fees By-laws.
제한 사항
- Same gear and conservation restrictions apply (ss.85-93); spearfishing only where the permit/water authorizes spear or spear gun gear.
No prohibition specific to foreigners practising freshwater spearfishing was found; tourists routinely fish Lake Kariba and other waters under permit. Non-resident tariffs are typically higher than resident tariffs.
거주자
Fishing permit issued by the appropriate authority for the waters (ZimParks for State waters / Parks and Wild Life Estate).
요건
- Hold a valid fishing permit for the waters (s.85).
- Members of an affiliated angling society may fish under a block fishing permit issued to the society (S.I. 362 of 1990 s.28(4); proof of paid-up membership may be required, s.31).
혜택
- Resident/local tariff rates are generally lower than non-resident tariffs.
- Block fishing permits available to societies affiliated to the National Anglers' Union of Zimbabwe.
The appropriate authority for waters wholly surrounded by its own land has additional latitude (e.g. need not hold a permit to fish/sell in those waters – s.90 proviso).

허용 구역
Zimbabwe's largest inland water body and principal sport-fishing destination (tigerfish, bream/tilapia, catfish). Fishing requires a permit from the appropriate authority; on the Zimbabwe side permits/research are administered via the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority and the Lake Kariba Fisheries Research Institute. Spear and spear gun are gear types authorized nationally under s.93 of the Parks and Wild Life Act, but the issuing authority may restrict permitted gear per permit.
Fishing permit required; gear may be restricted by permit conditions; explosives/firearms/poisons/jigs/electrical devices prohibited (s.87).
금지 구역
- Waters within national parks and the Parks and Wild Life Estatenational park / Parks and Wild Life Estate
Within the Parks and Wild Life Estate (national parks, safari areas, recreational parks, sanctuaries, etc.) fishing is permitted only under a fishing permit or block fishing permit, and gear may be restricted to rod/hand line unless otherwise authorized. Stricter rules and zone closures apply inside national parks, so spearfishing is generally not freely permitted there without specific authorization.

조사자 메모
Zimbabwe is landlocked (no sea coastline); all spearfishing is freshwater (rivers, dams, lakes – chiefly Lake Kariba). PRIMARY FINDING (high confidence): the national Parks and Wild Life Act [Chapter 20:14], section 93, expressly lists 'a spear' and 'a spear gun' as authorized fishing gear in any waters, so spear/underwater hunting of fish is legal in principle, subject to (a) holding a fishing permit (s.85/86) and (b) any gear restriction the issuing authority imposes per permit (s.93(2)); explosives, firearms, chemicals, jigs and electrical devices are prohibited (s.87). These verbatim provisions come from the official ZimParks PDF of the consolidated Act and from S.I. 362 of 1990 (FAOLEX). LOWER CONFIDENCE / UNVERIFIED: exact recreational permit fees and validity, numeric bag/size limits, protected fish species lists, and precise closed-season dates were not retrievable from an official machine-readable source; secondary sources give only approximate figures (permits ~US$10-20; a possible tigerfish closed/restricted period roughly Oct-Jan on Lake Kariba) and should be confirmed with ZimParks/LKFRI. Status set to 'restricted' rather than 'yes' because spearfishing is lawful only under permit and the issuing authority may exclude spear gear and impose zone closures (notably inside the Parks and Wild Life Estate). The S.I. 362 of 1990 fishing-gear wording (s.29) could not be extracted verbatim from the scanned PDF and is paraphrased in brackets; the s.93 gear list in the Act is the authoritative national rule. data_confidence: medium (strong primary law text on legality; gaps on numeric limits, fees, seasons).
