Minimum size

The smallest individual size allowed in landings or markets. Established by fishery management councils (FMCs) and enforced through control at landing sites or markets, it is intended to minimise the catch of small (undersized) fish or juveniles giving them a better chance to grow before being vulnerable to fishing. Based on yield per recruit considerations and models, it aims at avoiding or correcting growth overfishing.
