You could also call this:

"Who can be a high seas fishery inspector and what they can do"

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You are a fishery officer, except if you are an honorary fishery officer or an examiner, then you are a high seas fishery inspector. You can tell someone under your command to do some of the inspector's jobs for as long as you think is necessary. When you give this direction, the person you tell has the same powers as a high seas fishery inspector to do the jobs you specified.
