Redfish (Northern Red Snapper)
Prohibited in: United States (Texas)
Justification: Overfishing
The northern red snapper, or redfish, is banned in Texas due to overfishing concerns. After the population of redfish sharply declined, Texas placed a ban on commercial fishing of this species to allow for recovery. Recreational fishing of redfish is still allowed under strict regulations, but the commercial sale remains prohibited.
