Cresson said CCA would like to see a five-fish creel limit placed on the fish as well as an 18-inch minimum-length limit.
"It just seems like it's smart, common sense and forward-looking to have some management of these fish," he said.
Cresson told commissioners the recapture rate of tagged tripletail is 2 1/2 times higher than with other game fish, which, he said, is an indication of how vulnerable the fish are to over-harvest.

What part of any of that is bad?
and you forgot to bolden in the other parts such as this:

and there in lies your answer and why there is a concern
the part about limited knowledge is true, but with the knowledge that IS known, it is very sensible. There is LIMITED knowledge on many many species of fishes. Its because they are hard to study, and can be very expensive to study. We don't know everything about blue marlin, tunas, etc. but there are both size and creel limits on both of them
