I'm no biologist, but I think there might be a better time to open red snapper season than when every fish is bursting with fat sacks of roe and milt. Your tax and other dollars have been allocated to NMFS/SAFMC/Dept. of Commerce/FWRI and the fishery has been closed for TEN YEARS for them to STUDY RED SNAPPER BIOLOGY.
You would think they'd have a teensy lil bit of insight into spawn timing?
100% of fish I gutted this week were ready to blow. Commercial and rec season is wide open the full breadth of a waxing and full moon phase...of course these fish will be fornicating. I don't understand the logic.
There are way more big fish now, which is great. But this is quite an oversight that just doesn't bode well for the credibility of the resource managers or the health of the fish they are RESPONSIBLE for protecting.
Just an FYI, this is not an argument about rec vs commercial. This is about harvesting mass numbers at the wrong time of year. If they're spawning now, which regulators SHOULD KNOW BY NOW, then harvest by EVERYONE should be delayed until they've had a chance to release gametes for the year. This is BASIC FISHERIES BIOLOGY.
This is management sleeping on the job.
This is not a sustainable management strategy. Please pardon me for expecting more out of PhD fisheries biologists and statisticians being paid by we the people.
