der garibaldi ist in californien geschützt und darf nicht entnommen werden:

"In an effort to preserve the Garibaldi's declining numbers, the state of California made the Garibaldi its state marine fish in 1995. (personal contact: Dr. Bill Bushing, Catalina Conservatory, CA) This declaration of the state went together with a crucial piece of legislation passed in California that placed a ban on commercial fishing and/or collection of the Garibaldi indefinitely. (personal contact: Will Borgeson, fish culturist/aquarist at Bodega Marine Lab in Bodega Bay, CA)

As of 2001, the Garibaldi is the only marine fish in California to be completely protected by law. "
