The
Commercial Harvest of Gray Triggerfish in Federal Waters of the Gulf
of Mexico Will Close on Saturday.
The
closure is required because the 2017 commercial quota of 61 thousand
pounds is expected to be reached this week.
The
commercial harvest will close in federal waters at 12:01 am
on November 18th and will remain closed until 12:01
a.m. (local time) on January 1st.
The
closure is necessary to protect the gray triggerfish resource which
is considered overfished meaning the population is too low.
During
the closure commercial fishermen cannot catch or sell gray
triggerfish.
