Section 68B-47.008 - Applicability of Weakfish Regulations(1) The provisions of Chapter 68B-47, F.A.C., apply to the harvest of fish within the Weakfish Management Area that are of the species Cynoscion regalis and Cynoscion arenarius (sand seatrout), and hybrids of the two species.(2) A fish of the species Cynoscion regalis or Cynoscion arenarius (sand seatrout), or a hybrid of the two species that is harvested from Florida Waters outside of the Weakfish Management Area will be considered sand seatrout, not weakfish, and subject to any applicable regulations for sand seatrout.(3) The presence of a fish of the species Cynoscion regalis or Cynoscion arenarius (sand seatrout), or a hybrid of the two species aboard a vessel that is actively fishing in the Weakfish Management Area constitutes prima facie evidence that the fish was harvested from the Weakfish Management Area and therefore subject to the applicable weakfish regulations established in this chapter.Fla.
