WDFW Rule Proposal Recommendation
Not Recommended for further consideration Reference ID: DFW563242
Crab rules were recently changed and so are unlikely to be revised unless there is a conservation concern. Currently, evidence does not support that there are enough rockfish, and we are trying to conserve the ESA listed rockfish species, as well. At this time, we don't have assessment data for lingcod that indicates that the fishery can sustain a two fish limit.
