Recreational spearfishing (undervandsjagt / UV-jagt) is legal in Danish saltwater for personal use. It is prohibited in freshwater (lakes, rivers, streams). A valid recreational fishing licence (fisketegn / lystfiskertegn) is mandatory for everyone aged 18 and over. Since 14 August 2019, harpoon hunting is forbidden at night (from sunset to sunrise) and the use of breathing apparatus (scuba / compressed-air tanks) is prohibited - only freediving on a single breath is allowed, in line with EU Regulation 2019/1241. Only muscle-powered hand spears and spearguns (rubber/elastic or hand-pumped pneumatic) are permitted; externally gas-pressurised spearguns are not. Catch may not be sold. Hunters must respect minimum sizes, closed seasons, protected species and protection belts (fredningsbælter), notably the 500 m zone around river/stream mouths. Recreational cod fishing is banned in the western Baltic (subdivisions 22-24) for 2026.

निर्बंध
- Only hand spears and spearguns powered by muscle-loaded mechanisms are allowed: rubber/elastic (fjeder-/elastik-) or hand-pumped pneumatic (komprimeret luft) spearguns that can only be loaded by a muscular movement of the user.
- Externally gas-pressurised (gas-powered) spearguns are not permitted.
- Use of breathing apparatus (scuba / aqualung / compressed-air tanks - lungeautomat/trykflasker) is prohibited; only freediving on the diver's own breath-hold capacity is allowed.
- Spearfishing/harpoon hunting is prohibited at night, i.e. from sunset to sunrise (from dawn until dusk only), since 14 August 2019.
Bans on scuba and night spearfishing derive from EU Regulation 2019/1241 Article 7(1)(g), applied in Denmark from 14 August 2019. The 'one breath' / physical-capacity-only rule is also reflected in the Danish Sports Diving Federation (DSF) competition and safety rules.

स्पिअरफिशिंगसाठी खुली किंवा बंद असलेली नावाजलेली क्षेत्रे. परस्परसंवादी नकाशावर संपूर्ण चित्र पाहा.
परवानगी असलेले क्षेत्र
Underwater hunting is generally permitted along the open Danish saltwater coast, sounds and fjords, subject to the 500 m river-mouth protection belts, harbour/industrial-installation exclusions, daylight-only and no-scuba rules.
Saltwater only; no scuba; daylight only (sunset to sunrise prohibited); muscle-powered spearguns only; valid fisketegn required; minimum sizes and protected species apply; not within 500 m of river/stream mouths.
निषिद्ध क्षेत्र
- Freshwater (lakes, rivers, streams)freshwater (statutory exclusion)
Underwater hunting is forbidden in all freshwater. 'I ferskvand er det forbudt.' Spearfishing may only be practised in saltwater.
- Protection belts around river and stream mouths (fredningsbælter, 500 m)fisheries protection belt (fredningsbælte)
All fishing, including underwater hunting, is prohibited within 500 metres of the mouths of rivers, streams and narrows in sea or fjord, to protect spawning migrations.
- Harbour facilities and industrial installationsharbour / industrial installation exclusion
Underwater hunting is not permitted in/around harbour facilities and industrial installations ('Harbor facilities and industrial installations are off-limits').
- Copenhagen Harbour fishing ban (Svanemøllehavnen, Færgehavn Nord, Langelinie Lystbådehavn)port / harbour fishing ban
Under the Copenhagen Harbour regulations (Havnereglement, By & Havn / Copenhagen Malmö Port), all fishing is banned in the named harbour basins of Svanemøllehavnen, Færgehavn Nord and Langelinie Lystbådehavn, as well as in ISPS-secured quay areas. A seasonal ban (1 May–30 Sep) also applies from Bryggebroen to the southern end of Langeliniekaj. Spearfishing (undervandsjagt) is a form of fishing and is therefore prohibited in these harbour areas (which also fall under the general harbour/industrial-installation exclusion). Center point given is Svanemøllehavnen, the northernmost and largest of the named basins.

संशोधक नोट्स
Spearfishing in Denmark is legal but restricted. Key constraints (all source-backed): saltwater only (freshwater banned); valid fisketegn required (DKK 46/day, 150/week, 300/year); daylight-only and no breathing apparatus per EU Reg. 2019/1241 Art. 7(1)(g), enforced in Denmark since 14 Aug 2019; only muscle-powered spearguns (no externally gas-pressurised guns); catch for personal use only (no sale); minimum sizes and closed seasons per Fiskeristyrelsen; no fishing within 500 m of river/stream mouths (fredningsbælter); harbours/industrial installations excluded. A 2026 recreational cod ban applies in ICES subdivisions 22-24. Minimum age 18 to use a harpoon (16 with guardian consent + club membership). Verbatim legal text captured for the EU regulation (English, primary) and for Danish administrative/federation guidance (Danish). The full national executive-order text (bekendtgørelse) numbers were inferred from official summaries rather than fetched verbatim; the consolidated Fisheries Act (LBK nr 261 af 21/03/2019) and recreational-fishing executive orders are the underlying national instruments. Only two cod minimum sizes were captured verbatim from the official LFST cod page; the complete per-species saltwater size table is published in the official PDF 'Fredning og mindstemål i saltvand'. Confidence is high overall because the load-bearing prohibitions (scuba, night, freshwater, licence, 500 m belt, cod ban) are each confirmed by official sources (EU EUR-Lex, fiskepleje.dk/DTU Aqua, LFST/Fiskeristyrelsen, fisketegn.dk).
