While we have worked to make regulations liberal for taking and keeping native fish by private individuals, commercial exploitation is very restricted.
Hope this information helps clarify. I can send the actual code language if anyone needs it.

Subject: NANFA-L-- Collecting native fish in Arkansas for sale
Hi all! Got a quick question for the group. A friend of mine in Arkansas
told me that this week he was told by the Fish and Game Commission that it
is illegal to collect native fish in Arkansas for the purpose of selling
them. Is this true? Any and all information would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Brian
