What this is
A capture permit is a legal administrative document issued by the state that authorizes its holder to collect, capture, or hunt specimens of wild animals for a specific purpose. This permit comes in different forms: the scientific capture permit for researchers or institutions wishing to study animal behavior, and the commercial capture permit, which authorizes the capture of live animal species for profit. Anyone who captures protected wild animals without this permit is subject to severe criminal penalties (fines and imprisonment).
What readers say they paid
The instrument sets a fee. At the counter it is not always that one. Here is what readers report, counted and summed up.

If you have done it, say what you paid. It is published as counted figures, never as your account of it.
