Description:

"Regulatory Amendment 4 to the Reef Fish FMP proposes to establish minimum size limits for parrotfish harvest in the EEZ of St. Croix. Parrotfish are sequential hermaphrodites, generally maturing as females with some proportion of the population converting to males later in life. With the exception of the three largest species of parrotfish (midnight, rainbow, blue) that are prohibited from harvest, seven species of parrotfish are harvested in U.S. Caribbean waters. Each species follows a different maturation schedule. If implemented, the proposed rule would establish an 8 inch (in) fork length (FL) minimum size limit for the harvest of the relatively smaller redband parrotfish (Sparisoma aurofrenatum) and a 9 in FL minimum size limit for the remaining species of parrotfish (excluding the prohibited midnight, rainbow, and blue parrotfish) that are harvested in the EEZ of St. Croiz. The Caribbean Fishery Management Council decided not to establish minimum size limits in the Puerto Rico or St. Thomas/St. John management areas"--Summary from cover letter.
