Removal, from a purse seine, of fish harvested from the waters of the State shall be by brailing or dip net only. No fish pump shall be on board any vessel operating under a license, for the purpose of taking menhaden for bait or human food purposes, unless the pump is completely covered and securely fastened with a brightly colored tarp or other material, and the pump intake or hose is disconnected from the pump and is securely stowed away from the pump so that it is not readily available for use when the vessel is fishing in State waters.
