fishing limits

Harvest quantity restrictions

Fishing limits are regulations controlling how much fish can be caught, where, and when.

Limits may cap the number or size of fish an individual can keep, restrict fishing to certain seasons, or designate protected waters.

Commercial fishing faces quotas on total catch.

The rules aim to prevent overfishing and allow fish populations to recover: The lake has strict fishing limits on bass.
