Violations of the association's rules and regulations may result in cancellation of fishing licenses and inspection fees . The sum of the fee is SEK 1,000/violation. In the event of phishing, the fee is SEK 4,000.

In the case of repeated offences, suspension from fishing for the fisheries conservation area may take place.

Examples of violations against the fishing association's rules:

Fishing with two rods at the same time, as well as using powerbait: Control fee 1 extra rod SEK 1000 + powerbait used SEK 1000, total control fee SEK 2000.

2 noble fish over the maximum quota - each fish is counted as a violation each, i.e. inspection fee SEK 1000 + SEK 1000 gives a total inspection fee of SEK 2000.
