Switzerland
Europe · Western Europe
Switzerland is landlocked, so only freshwater (lake and river) fishing exists. Spearfishing / underwater hunting is effectively prohibited throughout the country. Federal law (Federal Act on Fishing, BGF, SR 923.0, 1991) sets the principles and leaves the regulation of permitted fishing gear and methods to the cantons; in practice the cantonal and inter-cantonal fishing regulations ban it. They forbid both (a) the use of weapons, harpoons, fish forks and snares and (b) fishing while diving with or without diving equipment and the use of any device intended to harpoon or injure fish. No canton issues a spearfishing licence. Recreational angling, by contrast, is widely permitted under cantonal licences (a SaNa certificate of competence is required for licences of one month or longer).

Cheklovlar
- Use of weapons, harpoons, fish forks and snares for fishing is prohibited (Canton Bern FiDV Art. 5)
- Fishing while diving, with or without diving equipment (e.g. scuba/freediving), is prohibited (Lake Murten concordat Art. 6 lit. d)
- Use of any device intended to harpoon or injure fish is prohibited (Lake Murten concordat Art. 6 lit. e)
- Stunning, explosive or otherwise harmful substances and electric current are prohibited
- Permitted fishing gear and methods are defined positively by each canton; they consist essentially of rod-and-line angling, not spearing
Spearguns and harpoons are not a permitted fishing method anywhere in Switzerland. Under federal weapons law a harpoon is treated as a dangerous object, but the operative ban on fishing with it is in the cantonal/inter-cantonal fishing regulations.

Kunlik limit
Set per canton for angling (not applicable to spearfishing, which is prohibited). Example: on Lake Murten further fishing is forbidden after taking six 'Edelfische' (noble fish).
Catch and size limits apply to permitted (rod) fishing and are defined by each canton; they are not relevant to spearfishing, which is not a lawful method. About 75% of Switzerland's native fish species are threatened (BAFU Red List).

Chet el mehmonlari
Ruxsat berilmaganCheklovlar
- Spearfishing is prohibited for everyone (residents and foreigners alike); no visitor spearfishing permit exists.
- For lawful angling, foreigners need the relevant cantonal permit and, for permits of one month or longer, a SaNa certificate of competence or an equivalent foreign certificate.
Tourists may obtain short-term (daily/weekly) angling permits in many cantons without the SaNa certificate, but this covers rod fishing only, never spearfishing.
Rezidentlar
Cantonal recreational angling permit (no spearfishing permit available)
Talablar
- SaNa certificate of competence (Sachkundenachweis) for angling permits of one month or longer
Residents are subject to the same prohibition on spearfishing as everyone else; lawful fishing is rod-and-line angling under cantonal rules.

Tadqiqotchi izohlari
Switzerland is landlocked (no sea coast); only freshwater fishing exists. Spearfishing/underwater hunting is not a lawful fishing method anywhere in the country. The Federal Constitution (Art. 79) gives the Confederation power to set fishing principles while cantons implement; the Federal Act on Fishing (BGF, SR 923.0, 1991) accordingly delegates the choice of permitted gear and methods to the cantons (BAFU: cantons 'lay down the management rules, e.g. permitted fishing gear and methods'). The operative spearfishing bans are therefore found in cantonal and inter-cantonal instruments, two of which are quoted verbatim here (Canton Bern FiDV Art. 5, prohibiting weapons/harpoons/fish forks/snares; and the Lake Murten concordat Art. 6, prohibiting fishing while diving and any device to harpoon or injure fish). Identical wording (diving + harpoon prohibition) appears in the bilingual federal/inter-cantonal text at droit-bilingue.ch. We did not enumerate all 26 cantonal regulations individually, but no Swiss canton is known to permit spearfishing and none issues a spearfishing licence; data_confidence is high for the national prohibition and the two quoted instruments. Lake-Geneva-specific detail (50 m rule) rests on a community/dive source and is marked accordingly. Confidence: high overall. Inland/freshwater spearfishing: Spearfishing is prohibited in all inland/freshwater bodies throughout Switzerland — no canton permits it, no spearfishing licence exists, and cantonal/inter-cantonal fishing regulations expressly ban both the use of spearguns/harpoons and fishing while diving (e.g. Canton Bern FiDV Art. 5; Lake Murten concordat 2025-2027 Art. 6).
