Let's keep our hands off undersize
fish!
For most fish, molluscs and crustaceans there is a minimum permitted
size which can be caught and sold. These regulations help to
protect fishing resources but are too often ignored by the fishing
industry and purchasers. Consuming fish when they are young
(or even just born as in the case of whitebait) means preventing
their reproduction, as only animals reaching maturity can reproduce
and maintain the balance of the food chain.
Here is a reminder of the minimum measurements for some
species:
White seabream: 23 cm
Red mullet: 11 cm
Mackerel: 18 cm
Sole: 20 cm
Striped bream: 20 cm
Sardine: 11 cm
Rose shrimp: 2 cm (head)
Scallop: 11 cm (shell)
Norway lobster: 11 cm (total)
Hake: 20 cm
Red seabream: 33 cm:
