The state of Missouri extends its ownership or control of wildlife not only to that found or reduced to possession within this state, but also to that which may be imported and the Conservation Commission may lawfully require persons engaged in retail merchandis- ing of fish to obtain a permit even though these fish may have been lawfully acquired from sources outside the state of Missouri.
