Size LimitsMinimum (and sometimes maximum) size limits are used to ensure that enough fish reach breeding size and have the opportunity to reproduce. In many cases, this means that the minimum size limit is set to allow all fish to reach sexual maturity and to breed at least once before they are able to be kept by fishers. |
