Pot ID number

[MJFisch]

The digest says "All pots and trot lines shall be marked with the identification number of the owner."  Is this my CID on my NJ crab pot license or do I have to get another number from the state for each pot?

the number on your crab pot  license is the number to use  it will always be that number  when you renew your license each year

I place my # on each buoy of my crab pots. I very rarely see anyone else's # visible on their buoys. Is it because they have not registered for their license?? Am I missing something??

  maybe both   also  you can have a tag  with the id #  attached to the  pot
  or if thrown from the bank  a stake with the # the holds the line
