closed seasons
Wildlife protection periods
Closed seasons are periods when hunting, fishing, or harvesting of particular species is prohibited by law.
The restrictions protect wildlife during vulnerable times—breeding, nesting, or migration.
Outside closed seasons, the activity is permitted, often with limits.
Poaching during closed season carries heavy fines.
The British term corresponds to American "off-season" in this context.
