RED

This group includes unsustainable species as well as those that are illegal to sell in South Africa, according to the Marine Living Resources Act.

Some of these “no-sale” species are very important recreational species that cannot handle commercial fishing pressures, and may therefore only be caught for your own enjoyment and use, subject to the possession of a valid recreational fishing permit and other restrictions that may apply (such as daily bag limits, closed seasons and minimum sizes).

These are species that you should never buy.
