The Commissioners are not full-time State employees, but individuals involved in private enterprise with expertise in various wildlife-related fields." The best known responsibility of the Commission is its Regulatory Powers Function. The Commission decides seasons, bag limits and methods of take for game animals and sport fish. "The Commissioners' ultimate decisions must reflect not only the biological needs of our fish and wildlife, but also the wishes, needs and desires of all those who enjoy these resources with the interest, understanding and involvement of everyone who appreciates our magnificent fish and wildlife resources." "The California Fish and Game Commission will continue along the path of sound and enlightened resource management."
