Thats doing the math based on the statistics you have there. I think there is some unacounted variables. If that were true, what keeps the Local Commerical Lobster in buisness?
I could get a resident commerical liscense for yeary fee of $120.75 and some sorta lobster/invertebrate stamp And take a big pro angler out there and pull up a limit and sell it to the market at $3-4 a pound. And I could make a pretty penny.
