The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries says special conditions will be applicable to the conch fishing season which begins on March 1.
They include a total catch of 300 metric tonnes for industrial fishers and 50 metric tonnes for artisanal fishers.
Additionally, zones demarcating prohibited areas for the fishing of queen conch are in place.
The conch fishing season resumed last year after previously being closed for two years, beginning in 2019.
The move was implemented to protect and increase the conch population and also boost the sustainability of the habitats in which they are grown.
