This so far is only proposed, as far as I know.

Proposed Bill No. 5506:

AN ACT ALLOWING COMMERCIAL FISHING FOR STRIPED BASS.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

That title 26 of the general statutes be amended to declare striped bass a predatory fish that is harmful to other species and to allow commercial fishermen to take a limited number of striped bass using conventional tackle, but not by the use of purse seine nets or similar equipment.

Statement of Purpose: To help balance the diversity of sea life in Long Island Sound.


Referred to Committee on Environment
Introduced by: REP. ROY, 119th Dist.
