"Pisces III" was bought in1998 as a replacment for Pisces II. This vessel performs the majority of her duties in the Southern part of the Committee's district, namely Suffolk.
Pisces III is able to patrol the Suffolk coastline out to
6 miles, enforcing the ESFJC Byelaws and Regulations.
In addition to this, Pisces III patrols the Suffolk Rivers where not only
is she used to carry out enforcement duties but she also takes on the role
of a research vessel, she may be used to collect samples, or assist the ESFJC
Research Vessel, Three Counties, by participating in surveying the rivers.
Pisces III requires a crew of two. Under normal operating conditions this is the Suffolk based Fishery Officer who is assisted by a retained crewman. On occasion ESFJC Research Staff and Fishery Officers will travel to Suffolk to man this vessel either for research or enforcement purposes.
