including byproducts and parts thereof, originating within the territorial and

documentation required to be kept by governmental agencies.
(2) "Commercial" means related to or connected with buying, selling, bartering, or processing.
(3) "Possession" means the control of enhanced food fish by the owner and includes both actual and constructive possession. Constructive possession occurs when the person has legal ownership but not actual possession of the enhanced food fish.
