You can have a license to fish for a specific reason. For example, you might be allowed to catch lobster to eat yourself but not to sell commercially. The people selling this lobster did not have the right license.

Some native bands negotiate for these fishing licenses since they might, for example, subsist off of something year-round. And it may be perfectly sustainable as long as it's 200 people eating the fish, while it might be unsustainable at commercial export scale.
