WAILUKU » State officials will be holding meetings on Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island during the next few weeks to consider changing fishing regulations.

Officials said they have no proposed regulation, but are looking at minimum-size rules and regulating at least three families of fish, including the parrotfish or uhu, goatfish or weke, and jacks or ulua/papio.

State aquatic biologist Skippy Hau said that although some fish in each of the families have size and bag limits, not all are covered by state regulation.

Hau said the meetings will provide the public with an opportunity to make suggestions on these and other issues.

On Oahu the meetings are scheduled for Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Castle High School cafeteria, 45-386 Kaneohe Bay Drive; Feb. 5 at Kawananakoa Middle School cafeteria, 49 Funchal St.; Feb. 12 at Waimalu Elementary School cafeteria, 98-825 Moanalua Road; and Feb. 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Waianae Public Library meeting room at 85-625 Farrington Highway.
