These are angling regulations and stipulate that you are only allowed to catch a fish with a specific Brittelmaß. Do we have an equivalent in English? Thank you all!

"Minimum sizes and maximum numbers for point eligibility:

The following minimum sizes and maximum numbers for point eligibility will apply uniformly to all bodies of water in which Club Fishes are held."

http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/fish/fishing/wallfish.htm
"The 14–inch minimum went into effect in 1996 because previous regulations allowed anglers to harvest stocked walleye before they could reach their growth potential. Fishermen were harvesting many 1– and 2–year-old walleyes that were only 8 to 12 inches long. To provide an opportunity for the fish to grow larger, fisheries officials created the 14–inch minimum size. Sport fishermen led the call for the size limit. Almost half of the anglers questioned in a 1994 statewide angler survey supported or strongly supported a minimum length limit for walleye. The 14–inch minimum length limit applies to all waters except the St. Joseph River in St. Joseph and Elkhart counties, the Ohio River and Sullivan Lake."

"* In order for your catch to count, the fish must meet the minimum length limit requirements.
* There may be unlimited entries per each fish species.
* Bonus points will be awarded to fish that are larger than minimum length for possible bonus points."
