Importing Garibaldi from Mexico

6-15-2012
CDFG

Question: I know this guy from Mexico who sells garibaldi and he said the ban on collecting and exporting garibaldi from Mexico has been lifted. I was thinking of starting a cold saltwater tank and would like to include garibaldi but I want to check the legality. If purchased from Mexico, is it okay to keep them in California? If it is legal, can I sell it if it gets too big for the tank?

Answer: No. Garibaldi may not be imported into California because they cannot be legally possessed (see the Ocean Sport Fishing Regulations, Section 28.05(b), and Fish and Game Code, sections 8598 and 2353, all available online at www.dfg.ca.gov/enforcement/).
