The tag sequence shall be present on all invoices and waybills. Reusable tags may not be possessed in the State of California. When tags are removed from the fish they must be destroyed by cutting through that portion of the tag which contains the name of the shipper and the tag number; or
(f) Fish tagged, marked and/or packaged under subsections (d) or (e) above may be reprocessed and repackaged or retagged by dealers possessing a Wholesale Fish Dealer's and Processor's License as provided by section 8040 of the Fish and Game Code as well as a revocable processing permit issued by the Wildlife Protection Branch of the department specifically for striped bass, sturgeon and steelhead trout and shad. The permit shall be issued on a calendar year basis, or part thereof. When transported for sale such fish or portions of fish shall meet the transportation requirements of subsections (b) and (c).
(g) No such fish may be possessed at a place where fish are sold unless packaged, marked or tagged in the manner described in subsections (d) or (e) except that operators or employees of retail stores, restaurants or other eating establishments may remove portions from packaged, marked or tagged fish when such portions are being displayed or prepared for actual sale to a consumer or for actual consumption on the premises.
(h) The permit issued pursuant to subsection (f) may be cancelled or suspended at any time by the department upon conviction of a violation of these regulations by a court of competent jurisdiction.
