The Minister of Environment, Planning and Infrastructure Strategy Walter Roban announced the production of new Fisheries stickers which outline the Fisheries Regulations 2010 concerning minimum sizes for fish, bag limits, protected species, lobster diving, spear fishing and general regulations.

New regulations on the stickers include the requirement to land all fish with the skin on and that regulated species are landed whole, as well as various “minimum size restrictions”. Of note on the stickers are the increased minimum sizes for hogfish (45cm), black grouper (95cm) and Wahoo (7lbs).
