New regulations for gray triggerfish include a two-fish recreational bag limit and a 12-fish commercial trip limit. The minimum size limit for gray triggerfish is 14 inches fork length. 

The bag limit for greater amberjack is one per person, and the size limit is 30 inches fork length.

Fork length is measured from the tip of the fish’s closed mouth to the center of the tail fork. Watch this video for more information on how to measure.
