In order to monitor the shared fish stock on this water way, a technical board on fisheries got formed in the year 1989. Their mandate ranged from formulation of protection measures, determination of population of the fishes, coming up with future action plans and development of consistent assessment of fisheries. The two states that border the waterway adopted the red river catfish guide.
Protection of this fish from over harvesting was among the various recommendations which were proposed as a special regulation. Limitation on possession of catfish was set not to exceed a total of five with only one to surpass twenty four inches. These regulations were drafted in accordance to the proposals made by Minnesota in 1991 and North Dakota in 1990.
A series of estimating populations was conducted in order to determine the numbers of larger catfishes in the waterway. These sampling efforts that were conducted in intense were partly for evaluating the impacts of channel catfish regulations of 1990 and partly for determining the populations of this fish in and size structure of population of catfishes in the water course.
In an aim to check harvesting rates, usage by residents and non-residents alike, location and season fishing usually occurs among others, an anglers survey got carried on by both states based on the waterway. The two states undertook creels for about four months at summer and again during open water months. This was done to get to know on the impact which was as a result of experimental spring fishing.
In the 1998 springs, the procedures to assess the impacts that were to result by opening the river for fishing to the general public began. Prior to this, this waterway had been restricted in an aim to avert overfishing of specific species. So as to monitor on the numbers harvested, spring fishing adopted a series of restraints on quotas and sizes at the years between 2000 and 2004. The conservation officers of both states were mandated to put into effect these regulations.
Data from the survey which had been carried out showed no very insignificant or no bearing at all in the population. This was despite the obstructive limits set on springs and the liberal limits that had been enforced for the remaining months. The North Dakota unit on game and fish proposed an ever seasonal and daily proposal and a limit on possession. To check that it met the objectives, the new regulation was to get evaluated.
The Minnesota DNR in conjunction with the North Dakota games and fish unit carried out a routine sampling on Red River for time duration of 1995 to 2001. Determination of population of the fishes, the number structure and sizes of different species and serve in developing of trends that would monitor the catfish population changes were the major aim of this project.
In a bid to ensure that fishing turns out to be highly user friendly, the committee has proposed on steps which will aim to standardize the procedures on Red River. Logical biology, ability to be enforced and be assessed in order to guarantee that fishing turns better and enjoyable are among the grounds to be ensured in the regulations.
