805Gregg - Some seiners can bag as much as 20,000 tons per year. That's 40,000,000 (40 Million) Pounds per year, not including by catch. By slaughtering some yellows here and there, and living off that, we are not supporting the 40 Million Pound / year seiners and all their trashed by catch... I don't know if that makes sense, but it seems logical to me.

Read up on it...
