These proposed rules would increase the recreational, commercial, importation, and sale minimum size limits from 16 to 18 inches total length. They would reduce the recreational bag limit for mutton snapper from 10 to three fish within the 10-fish snapper aggregate bag limit. The proposed rules would replace the May through June commercial harvest limit of 10 fish per person per day in all state waters with a three-fish per person per day limit applicable in Atlantic state waters from April through June, and establish a 500-pound commercial trip limit in Atlantic state waters from July through March. The proposed rules would remove the commercial trip limit from May through June in Gulf state waters to create consistency with regulations in Gulf federal waters.
