85. No person shall have in possession, expose for sale, sell
or buy any of the aforesaid fish, alive or dead, in the city of
Baltimore or in any of the counties of this State during the
aforesaid respective closed season or dates, except white perch,
between which it is made unlawful by the seven preceding sec-
tions to catch or kill the same, or at any time of any size less
than therein provided, whether such fish so had in possession,
exposed for sale, sold or bought, shall have been caught,
trapped or in any other manner taken or killed in that county
or in any other county of this State, or in any other State,
territory or county, under a penalty for having in possession,
exposing for sale, selling or buying of each such fish, similar
in amount respectively to that hereinbefore made and provided
for the illegal catching of the same; but nothing in this section
contained shall be so construed as to prevent any of the fish
commissioners of this State, in pursuance of their capacity as
fish culturists, or any other person or corporation which
shall first obtain a certificate in writing from the State game
warden to the effect that such persons or corporations are
engaged in the scientific culture or propagation of fish, from
having in his or its possession alive at any time, any fish for
the purpose of said scientific culture or propagation only, and
to obtain such certificate said persons or corporations must file
with the State game warden an application and affidavit to the
truth and bona fides thereof, made by the person or officer of
the corporation requesting the same, and taken before any
officer competent to administer an oath in this State; and said
affidavit and application shall be retained and kept on file by
said State game warden, but the possession of any of the afore-
said fish during any of the aforesaid closed seasons or dates
between which it is hereinbefore made unlawful to catch or trap
the same, or any size less than lawful size, shall in every instance
be prima facie evidence of unlawful purpose to fish in the waters
or streams in the State of Maryland.
