McGregor, P. J.
(dissenting).
The pertinent facts are set forth in the majority opinion in this cause.
My dissent from the majority opinion is based on the language of the statute, MCLA § 308.14 (Stat Ann 1967 Rev § 13.1505(d)), which provides:
“(d) Perch, of a less length than 8 1/2 inches in the round and filleted perch of a less weight than 1 3/4 ounces; perch with heads and tails off of a less length than 5 1/2 inches;” (Emphasis added.)
It is my considered judgment that the legislature used the word “and”, and did not mean or intend “or”. Therefore, I would affirm the Court of Claims in the summary judgment in favor of the State of Michigan.
