Environment - "Catfish regs face debate in Indiana"

From Phil Potter's column in the Sunday Evansville Courier & Press, this sample:

Recent conservation emphasis has encouraged catching and releasing all big fish, knowing these are usually the best breeding stock. Multi-state debates now center on what inland fish species should have maximum protective size limits and minimum size limits for keeping.

Catfish protection will be discussed during two Indiana Department of Natural Resources public meetings. The IDNR wants to install maximum length possession limits on channel, blue and flathead catfish and to limit both sport and commercial anglers to one big catfish of each per day.

The column concludes: "You may voice your opinions at the public meetings at 6 p.m. March 21 at Vincennes University's Shireliff Theater, or at 1:30 p.m. March 22 in Room N501 at the Government Center, 100 N. Senate Ave., Indianapolis."
