This show discussed what, why and how about avoiding undersize fish as a practical first step we can all act on to help revive Fiji’s fishing grounds. In Fiji, there are legal and recommended size limits for fish and other species to ensure they grow big enough to breed and restock our fishing grounds. If fish are caught when they are undersize, this means they most likely have not had a chance to breed and restock our reefs. The 4FJ Fish Smart campaign is promoting different ways to Fish Smart, one of those ways is the 4FJ Fish Smart App that has the detailed set and legal sizes for local in-shore fish species.
