When I searched for an answer to the question "Are female flounder larger than male flounder?" I came across these articles which indicate that female flounder are indeed larger than males. It also indicates that males do not grow too very big. How big do males grow? There are no definite answers but there is evidence that they do not grow too large. Therefore, distributing the "take" limits of fluke to include "slot" fish would seem to be a logical improvement in the limits we have now.
