Recreational anglers will see more black sea bass fishing opportunities coming in the Atlantic.
FWC expands fishing opportunities for black sea bass in Atlantic
At the September meeting in St. Augustine, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) expanded recreational fishing opportunities for black sea bass caught in Atlantic state waters and approved several other management changes.
Recreational anglers will soon be able to take seven black sea bass per person, per day. The bag limit is currently five.
The Commission also approved a management change requiring the buoy line attached to a commercial black sea bass trap fished or possessed in or on Atlantic state waters to meet federal seasonal marking requirements.
These management measures are similar to recently approved and pending changes for Atlantic federal waters. The bag limit change went into effect on Aug. 12 in Atlantic federal waters.
The effective date for changes to state waters is yet to be determined. A press release will be issued and the FWC website will be updated before these changes go into effect.
To learn more about black sea bass, visit MyFWC.com/Fishing and click on “Saltwater Fishing,” “Recreational Regulations” and “Black Sea Bass.”

Since not much trawling has been done deeper than 200 meters off the eastern coast of South-Africa, one of the objectives for this survey was to trawl in the deeper areas. However, the waters here are quite challenging with one of the strongest currents, varying vertically in direction and speed (up to 6 knots), and strong winds often blowing in the opposite direction of the surface current. We were therefore only able to conduct 3 trawl stations deeper than 200 m. In total, 22 trawls have been done, from 20-511 m. The catches have mostly been quite small, particularly north of Richards Bay. Overall, catches have been dominated by anchovies (Engraulis), sand soldiers (Pagellus), greeneyes (Chlorophthalmus) and minikob (Johnius). The dominance of anchovies is perhaps surprising as mainly bottom trawls have been used, but these fish form very large shoals and most of them were caught in just two trawls. Few species of commercial interest have been caught, apart from prawns and langoustines on the deep water crustacean trawl grounds. In total 350 different species were caught in the bottom trawl hauls, of which 200 were various fish species. One of these are rarely caught, the sailfin velifer which was presented in an earlier post. We might also have caught a new species in the group called rover fishes (Emmelichthys sp.), but this remains to be confirmed. The fish is preserved and brought back to the South-African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity for further analysis. We also caught a shark which Oddgeir didn't have in his photo archive, the lined catchark (Halaelurus lineolatus). Antoher fish caused us some problems to identify, but in the end the taxonomy experts onboard did agree that is must be a blue and gold fusilier (Caesio caerulaurea).

Two people from the South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity, Yonella Sithole and Wouter Holleman, joined the RV Fridtjof Nansen on the first leg of her 2018 cruise, to collect fish specimens for the National Fish Collection at SAIAB and to add to the tissue bank which will be used in DNA analysis. DNA information can be used in both fish taxonomy (identification of species) and commercial fish stock assessments.
