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.

Подводное ружьёРазрешено
АквалангЗапрещено

Ограничения

  • 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.

Что можно добывать

Лимиты добычи и охраняемые виды

Дневные квоты, минимальные размеры и виды, которые нельзя добывать ни при каких условиях.

Дневной лимит

No general numeric daily bag limit for most species taken by underwater hunting; catch is for personal use only and may not be sold. Salmon (laks) is limited to one fish per day. Recreational cod fishing is banned in 2026 in subdivisions 22-24.

Минимальные размеры

  • Cod (torsk) - Belts/Baltic & North Sea incl. Limfjorden, Ringkøbing Fjordмин. 35 cm
  • Cod (torsk) - Skagerrak/Kattegatмин. 30 cm

Охраняемые виды — добывать нельзя

  • ОхраняетсяCod (torsk) - recreational/spearfishing catch banned in 2026 in ICES subdivisions 22-24 (western Baltic)
  • ОхраняетсяSalmon (laks) - max 1 per day and spawning protections; coloured/spawning fish protected
  • ОхраняетсяSea trout (havørred) - coloured spawning fish ('farvede' fisk) protected during closed season
  • ОхраняетсяEuropean eel (ål) - heavily restricted under EU eel recovery rules

Underwater hunters must comply with the official minimum sizes (mindstemål) and closed seasons (fredningstider) published by Fiskeristyrelsen/LFST for saltwater species; values differ by sea area. Commonly hunted species include flatfish (fladfisk/rødspætte/skrubbe), sea trout, garfish (hornfisk), mackerel (makrel) and mullet (multe). Selling the catch is prohibited. Only the two cod minimum sizes were captured verbatim from the official cod page; the full per-species size table is in the official PDF 'Fredning og mindstemål i saltvand' (see sources).

Заметки исследователя

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).
