Paraguay
Americas · South America
Paraguay is a landlocked country, so all spearfishing would be freshwater (rivers, lakes, lagoons, reservoirs). National law (Ley Nº 3.556/08 de Pesca y Acuicultura) does not specifically name spearfishing (pesca subacuática/submarina), but it strictly defines the only permitted gear for recreational ('sport') fishing as hooks and lines or a rod with/without reel ('anzuelos y liñadas o caña con o sin reel'). Spearguns/harpoons are therefore not among the authorised sport-fishing methods, and the law generally prohibits non-selective and destructive fishing arts. Commercial sale of catch is forbidden under a sport licence. In practice recreational spearfishing is not a recognised or permitted modality in Paraguay. An annual, non-transferable fishing licence issued by MADES is mandatory for any sport fishing, and a nationwide closed season (veda) suspends all sport and commercial fishing for several weeks each year (typically early November to late December/January).

Ограничувања
- Only permitted sport-fishing gear is hooks and lines or a rod with/without reel ('anzuelos y liñadas o caña con o sin reel') - spearguns/harpoons are not an authorised method
- Prohibited: toxic substances, electric discharges, explosives or gas (Art. 36, Ley 3.556/08)
- Prohibited: monofilament-thread nets, trasmallo, floating espineles, light-attraction devices, river-barrier structures (Art. 36)
The national law does not explicitly name spearfishing (pesca subacuática/submarina). Because recreational fishing is restricted by regulation to hook-and-line/rod gear, spear/harpoon underwater fishing falls outside the permitted recreational modality and is effectively not allowed.

Белешки на истражувачот
Paraguay is landlocked (no marine coastline); only inland/freshwater fishing exists. National fisheries law (Ley Nº 3.556/2008) does NOT explicitly mention spearfishing, harpoons or pneumatic spearguns ('arpón'/'fusil'/'pesca subacuática'). The conclusion that recreational spearfishing is not permitted is inferred from the MADES regulation that restricts sport-fishing gear to hooks and lines or rod ('anzuelos y liñadas o caña con o sin reel') plus Art. 36 prohibitions on non-selective/destructive methods. No source explicitly authorises or explicitly bans underwater spearfishing by name. The BACN official law page returned HTTP 403 on automated fetch; verbatim article text was therefore captured from the Justia Paraguay reproduction of the same law and cross-checked against MADES summaries. No designated spearfishing zones exist; zones left empty. Daily catch limit not published in consulted sources. Confidence is medium: the legal framework and gear/license/season facts are well sourced, but the spearfishing-specific status is interpretive (absence of explicit provision) rather than a named prohibition.
