Re: Sea Bass and Fluke Regulation Update
Yes, there are other options being considered including ones with an 18 1/2" size limit and ones with a split size limit. However, at this point they are all preliminary as I had stated. Also I just received some additional info. that I added to my initial post. However, so you don't have to read through it all again here it is:
UPDATE – 2/21/13
Though I did not listen in on the fluke portion of the ASMFC meeting I have been told that there is a chance that New Jersey may not have to reduce by 15%. However, this will be dependant on what other states do. The way I understand it, is that if their regulations are conservative enough to ensure that their quotas are not likely to be exceeded then New Jersey might not have to reduce by 15%. There is even a possibility that we could have the same regulations as last year. However, all this will take time so it is unlikely that we will know for sure by the advisors meeting or even the NJMFC meeting.
