    2. A grower shall not take shellfish, for shipping or  marketing  from
  lands  owned,  leased  or  rented  by  him,  except  upon  permit of the

  areas.  The department shall prescribe and furnish forms for application
  for such permits.
    3. The fee for such permit shall be twenty-five cents  for  each  acre

  in part within an uncertified area, the department shall  issue  without
  fee, a new permit covering the remaining portion of such lands.
    6.  In  case  of  assignment or transfer of rights or ownership of any
  private or leased lands under water, or  parts  thereof,  a  new  permit
  shall be required.
