In December
2005, the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission passed
a rule modifying regulations on the harvest of vermilion snapper
in Louisiana state waters.
The minimum
size for vermilion snapper for both recreational and commercial
harvesters was increased to 11 inches.
An annual
closed season was established for commercial harvesters from
April 22 through May 31 of each year.
Vermilion
snapper remain part of a 20 fish per person aggregate bag
limit for vermilion, lane, gray triggerfish, almaco jack,
goldface tilefish, tilefish, blackline tilefish, anchor tilefish
and blueline tilefish. However, not more than 10 vermilion
snapper per person may be included in that bag limit.
