OPINION ON REHEARING
MATTHEWS, Justice.
The question presented in these consolidated eases is whether entities charged with strict liability commercial fishing violations are entitled to a trial by jury. 1 We answer this question in the negative. Such violations are minor offenses which do not fall within established standards for determining whether a criminal jury trial is required. Cases prosecuting such violations are nonetheless criminal rather than civil in nature; therefore a civil jury trial is not required.
