Common confusion points
Confusing 'detention' with 'seizure'; they are related but distinct actions recorded on the form.
Not knowing *who* must sign the form (is it the Court, or the Fisheries Officer who requested the order?).
Assuming this single form covers all aspects of the case; it is only the detention instruction.
Mistaking the Act name; ensure you are referencing the 'Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959' specifically.
