Spearfishing (підводне полювання) is legal in Ukraine as a form of amateur and sport fishing. It is governed by the Rules of Amateur Fishing approved by Order No. 700 of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food (19.09.2022, registered as z1412-22). On general-use water bodies amateur fishing, including spearfishing, is free and requires no special permit. A speargun (підводна рушниця) without an aqualung is the permitted tool; using aqualungs or other autonomous breathing apparatus (scuba) is prohibited and treated as poaching. The spearfisher must mark the location with a signal buoy/flag, must be at least 16 years old to use a speargun, and is fully prohibited from spearfishing inside nature-reserve-fund (природно-заповідний фонд) territories and objects, on spawning grounds, in wintering pits and in numerous other listed protected/technical locations. A spring-summer spawning ban (typically from 1 April through 20 May on rivers and through 10 June on reservoirs/lakes/ponds, with some water bodies starting 5 April) restricts fishing each year. NOTE: Ukraine's Black Sea and Sea of Azov coast is heavily affected by the ongoing war; large maritime areas and the temporarily occupied territories (incl. Crimea) are inaccessible and mined. Practical marine spearfishing along the coast is currently not feasible.

Nota penyelidik
Ukraine permits spearfishing (підводне полювання) as a form of amateur/sport fishing under the Rules of Amateur Fishing (Order No. 700 of 19.09.2022, z1412-22). Core verbatim provisions (speargun permitted, aqualung/scuba prohibited, 16+ age limit, nature-reserve-fund ban) were extracted from the official zakon.rada.gov.ua legislation portal. The full prohibited-locations list (power-plant channels, dam pools, spawning grounds, wintering pits, lock channels, newly created reservoirs, assigned commercial sections) is corroborated by regional Derzhrybahentstvo pages. Per-species minimum catch sizes are set in the appendices to the Rules and vary by region; they were not captured verbatim and size_limits is intentionally left empty rather than guessed. The spawning-ban dates are set annually by regional orders; the values given are the standard 2026 ranges. IMPORTANT WARTIME CAVEAT: Ukraine has a Black Sea/Sea of Azov coastline (coastline=true), but most of the coast, territorial waters and the occupied territories (including Crimea) are inaccessible, militarised and/or mined, so practical marine spearfishing is currently not feasible; the operative rules apply to inland freshwater bodies.
