Austria

Europe · Western Europe

Austria is a landlocked country with no sea coast, so there is no marine spearfishing. All fishing takes place in inland freshwater (lakes and rivers). Fishing law is not federal but is regulated separately by each of the nine federal states (Bundesländer), each with its own Landesfischereigesetz. Across the state fishing laws reviewed, spearfishing is effectively prohibited: harpoons (Harpunen) and fish spears (Fischstecher) are listed as forbidden fishing devices, the methods of spearing/stabbing (Stechen) are forbidden fishing methods, and in some states (e.g. Vienna) fishing while swimming or diving (Tauchen) is itself explicitly prohibited. Recreational angling generally requires a fishing licence (Fischerkarte) plus the permission of the waters' fishing-rights holder, but spearfishing as a method is not a permitted technique. Conclusion: recreational underwater spearfishing is not legal in Austrian waters.

  • Harpoons (Harpunen) are listed as prohibited fishing devices in state fishing laws (e.g. Vienna § 49 Abs. 2; Lower Austria § 12 Abs. 5; Salzburg § 23 Abs. 3).
  • Fish spears (Fischstecher) are explicitly prohibited as a fishing means in Salzburg (§ 23 Abs. 3 Z 1 lit. a).
  • Spearing/stabbing (Stechen) is a prohibited fishing method in all reviewed state laws.
  • In Vienna, fishing while swimming or diving (das Fischen beim Schwimmen oder Tauchen) is an explicitly prohibited fishing method (§ 49 Abs. 3).

Spearguns/harpoons cannot be used for fishing in Austrian inland waters. Possession of a speargun is governed by general law, but it cannot be lawfully used to take fish.

Tadqiqotchi izohlari

Austria is landlocked (no sea coastline), so there is no marine spearfishing — only inland freshwater fishing exists. Fishing legislation is a competence of the nine federal states (Bundesländer); there is no single national fishing act. Three state laws were verified with verbatim primary-source text (Vienna W-FischG § 49, Lower Austria NÖ FischG § 12, Salzburg Sbg. FischG § 23) and all list harpoons (Harpunen) — and in Salzburg also fish spears (Fischstecher) — as prohibited fishing devices, plus spearing/stabbing (Stechen) as a prohibited method; Vienna additionally bans fishing while swimming or diving (Tauchen). Upper Austria's official portal likewise lists Stechen among prohibited methods. The remaining states (Burgenland, Carinthia, Styria, Tyrol, Vorarlberg) were not individually fetched, but the pattern of harpoon/diving prohibition is consistent across Austrian fishing law and reflects the shared 'Weidgerechtigkeit' (fair-chase) principle; spearfishing should be treated as prohibited nationwide. Seasons, zones and catch limits are left empty because they pertain to permitted angling and are not relevant to the prohibited spearfishing method. Cost/validity left as unknown rather than guessed, as they vary per state and were not retrieved verbatim. Inland/freshwater spearfishing: Prohibited in all inland waters nationwide — Austria's per-state (Bundesland) fishing laws list harpoons (Harpunen) as prohibited fishing devices and spearing/stabbing (Stechen) as a prohibited fishing method, with Vienna also explicitly banning fishing while swimming or diving (Tauchen). Verified in Vienna (§ 49 W-FischG: Harpunen prohibited as device; das Fischen beim Schwimmen oder Tauchen and das Stechen prohibited as methods), Lower Austria (§ 12 NÖ FischG 2001: Harpunen/Fischstecher prohibited devices, das Stechen prohibited method), and Upper Austria (Stechen listed among prohibited methods).
