Re: ASMFC Schedules Conference Call today (9:30) to Declare NJ out-of-compliance 4 Fl
"The ASMFC has found states to be out of compliance 23 times in the past. The only previous time this process has resulted in a fishing moratorium was in 1990, when New Jersey was banned from striped bass fishing for six days before the state came back into compliance."
"Herrighty also said that New Jersey studies have found that about 10 percent of fish that are thrown back because they're too small die during the process anyways. A stricter size limit would make this mortality rate more significant."
