Fishing season ending for striped mullet
By Associated Press
POSTED: 02:22 p.m. HST, Nov 28, 2008
The state says the fishing season for ’ama’ama or striped mullet fishing is due to end on Monday to protect the species from overfishing.
The public will be allowed to resume taking the fish on April 1, after the ’ama’ama’s peak spawning season is over.
Violators may be fined up to $500 and/or 30 days in jail, plus up to $100 for each fish taken.
State Board of Land and Natural Resources Chairwoman Laura Thielen is asking for the public’s cooperation in implementing the fishing ban.
Thielen says “everyone shares in the responsibility to take care of important fish species like ’ama’ama to ensure their survival into the future.”
