In the US no you would not need a license. You may wish to go up a few lines and ask the regional forum.

It depends, actually. In my state, at least, you're technically required to have a license from the Dept. of Agriculture if you sell fish. LFSs here are technically required to purchase fish only from those who have this. Is the Dept. of Ag going to come bust down your door for selling a batch of fry to the lfs? Nah, I highly doubt it... but if you're going totally by the book, that's the way you're supposed to do it here. Like I said, it depends on location and when it comes to the UK, I have no idea.
