Rights to catch fish added as an additional clause (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rider

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an additional clause' is the definition.
(additional clause on a contract or agreement)

'rights to catch fish' is the wordplay.
'rights' becomes 'rr'.
'to catch' is an insertion indicator.
'fish' becomes 'ide' (I've seen this before).
'rr' enclosing 'ide' is 'RIDER'.

'added as' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rider that I've seen before include "it may be added" , "given little weight" , "knight" , "supported by an Arab, perhaps" , "Traveller on horseback" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
