A 37-year-old Kahului man was cited Tuesday for suspicion of selling undersized ahi, according to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Officers from the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement received an anonymous tip that Crispin B. Santos was selling the undersized fish in the Lahaina area. After finding him in possession of 15 ahi weighing between 2 and 2.5 pounds, the officers cited Santos at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Hawaii laws make it “unlawful to possess with the intent to sell or offer for sale any ahi less than three pounds in weight.”
Santos was given a date to appear in Lahaina District Court.
