the tip of the tail, or 28 inches from the front of the dorsal fin to the tip
of the tail. Undersized lingcod shall be returned to the water immediately
without further injury. A person may not mutilate or otherwise disfigure a
lingcod in any manner that prevents determination of the minimum

may, by emergency order, increase the bycatch limit for lingcod, for vessels
using mechanical jigging machines and hand troll gear.
