HRS §328-49
When fish can be put in cold storage for later sale
This law says that most fish caught after noon must be sold as soon as they reach shore. Fish that do not sell by the end of the market day can be put in cold storage, but only if they were caught within the last 12 hours and were not bruised or damaged.
