(a) The division may, in its discretion, after application on forms furnished by it,
issue to an owner of such fishing preserve waters a fishing preserve license permitting

such fish in such licensed fishing preserve waters and to buy, sell or otherwise traffic
in fish taken therefrom; specify the manner of tagging fish taken from the licensed
waters; specify the means of acquisition of fish stocked therein. (c) The license may also: authorize the licensee to control undesirable protected
fish, wildlife and insects and specify means of control of same; specify such other
restrictions and controls for the management of fishing preserve waters as in the
judgment of the division may be deemed advisable for proper fish management. (d) The fee for the license shall be $228.00 per year, or as adjusted by the Fish and Game Council pursuant to section 12 of P.L.1982,
