Spearfishing (подводная охота) is legal in Kazakhstan as a form of amateur (sport) fishing. Under Article/paragraph 19 of the national Fishing Rules (approved by Order No. 18-04/148 of 27 February 2015), spearguns ('ружья для подводной охоты') may only be used in areas designated for recreational fishing, outside public recreation/swimming zones, and on assigned (leased) fishery water bodies in places marked by the wildlife user. All amateur fishing must use only gear permitting individual, piece-by-piece catch (поштучный лов) for personal consumption; commercial/industrial gear, explosives, poisons and firearms are prohibited. A permit (путевка) is required on assigned (leased) fishery water bodies; on reserve-fund waters fishing up to 5 kg per fisher per visit is free without permits. Seasonal spawning bans apply, and sturgeon (осетровые) are under a year-round catch ban plus a multinational Caspian commercial moratorium. There is no dedicated separate speargun licence; spearfishing follows the general amateur fishing regime.

KuszaDozwolone

Ograniczenia

  • Spearguns (ружья для подводной охоты) allowed only in designated recreational fishing areas and on marked assigned fishery sites, outside public recreation/swimming zones (paragraph 19, Fishing Rules).
  • Only gear permitting piece-by-piece (поштучный) catch is allowed for amateur fishing; industrial/commercial gear prohibited (paragraph 18).
  • Explosives, poisons/chemicals and firearms are prohibited for fishing (paragraph 9.13).
  • Fishing with any methods/gear not provided for in the Fishing Rules is prohibited (paragraph 10.7).

The Fishing Rules text retrieved does not contain an explicit clause on the use of scuba/aqualung (акваланг) for spearfishing; secondary sources state underwater hunting with harpoons and spearguns using scuba and other autonomous breathing apparatus is permitted only on sites specifically designated by the fishery-protection authorities. Treat scuba spearfishing as uncertain/site-restricted (scuba_allowed left null).

  • No spearfishing in public recreation zones, during closed seasons, or for protected/sturgeon species.
  • Border-zone access near the Caspian coast and frontier areas may require separate border-service permits (general Kazakh border-zone regime).

The Fishing Rules do not establish a separate foreigner-specific spearfishing licence; foreigners follow the general amateur fishing regime. Confirm any border-zone permit requirements locally before fishing the Caspian coast.

Mieszkańcy

Permit (путевка) on assigned fishery waters; free reserve-fund fishing up to 5 kg/visit

Wymagania

  • Obtain a путевка from the wildlife user (lease holder) where the water body is assigned.
  • Use only piece-by-piece (непромысловые) gear; spearguns only in designated areas outside public recreation zones.

Notatki badacza

Kazakhstan is functionally landlocked but borders the Caspian Sea (the world's largest enclosed inland body of water), so coastline=true. Spearfishing exists as a recognised form of amateur (sport) fishing under national law. Verbatim provisions captured: speargun use restricted to designated recreational areas outside public swimming zones and to marked leased fishery sites (Fishing Rules para 19); definition of amateur fishing requiring piece-by-piece catch (para 18); free 5 kg/visit allowance on reserve-fund waters (para 20); путёвка requirement on leased waters (para 21); ban on explosives/chemicals/firearms (para 9.13). Seasonal bans: northern Kazakh Caspian sector 25 May–31 Aug (spawning), Mangyshlak archipelago 15 Nov–15 Mar. Sturgeon are under a year-round catch ban plus a multinational Caspian commercial moratorium extended through 2026. Paragraph numbering reflects the consolidated Fishing Rules as retrieved; renumbering may have occurred across amendments — verify the article reference against the current consolidated text on adilet.zan.kz before legal reliance. Whether scuba/aqualung spearfishing is permitted is uncertain: the retrieved Rules text addresses spearguns generally; one secondary source states scuba spearfishing is allowed only at sites specifically designated by fishery-protection authorities. Coordinates for the northern Caspian and Mangyshlak zones are approximate centroids for mapping, not legal boundaries. Confidence is high for the existence and restricted nature of spearfishing and the verbatim text; medium for exact paragraph numbers and scuba rules.
