MarineFisheries Advisory
COMMERCIAL SCUP MINIMUM SIZE LIMIT REMAINS AT 9 INCHES
During recent rulemaking to increase the recreational minimum size for scup from 9 to 10 inches, the commercial minimum size for scup was erroneously increased to 10 inches. MarineFisheries has filed a corrected rule and is issuing this advisory to clarify that the minimum size for commercial scup is 9 inches. To reiterate, it is unlawful for any recreational fisherman to possess scup less than ten inches in total length. It is unlawful for any commercial fisherman or dealer to possess scup less than nine inches in total length. MarineFisheries apologizes for any confusion.
