California Fishermen Reach Squid Catch Limit
December 17, 2010 | 1 min to read
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—California squid fishermen are nearing the catch limit early because of cold La Nina ocean waters.
The state Department of Fish and Game says the harvest limit of 118,000 short tons will be reached Friday [Dec. 17] and the squid season will be closed until March 31.
The San Jose Mercury News says cold La Nina waters led to the squid bounty. It's the first time the limit has been reached since new rules were put in place eight years ago to protect against over fishing.
