August 20, 2019 — Federal fishing managers are restricting the fishery for a commercially important species of squid for the rest of the year.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says restrictions on the fishery for illex squid, which are also called shortfin squid, begin on Wednesday morning. Vessels won’t be allowed to bring more than 10,000 pounds per trip of the squid from federal waters to docks.
