We think we made headway. Previously we had proxies for the rockfish harvest. In some cases, we guessed. In some cases, we had observers on board so we could count the fish that were kept and the fish that were discarded. We extrapolated for the rest of the industry and hoped we were right. In other cases, we did stock assessment surveys, and then by deduction we tried to determine how many fish could have been harvested. So we had a variety of methods--with uncertainty.
We think that in 2006 we have a good handle--maybe a very good handle--on catches, particularly bycatches. This is going to allow us to compare what we think was being caught in the past.
Our view today is that we are catching less rockfish in 2006 than before. We think that's happening because groundfish fishermen are changing how they fish. They're avoiding areas of high rockfish concentration, because now they're accountable for it.
We think the bycatches are down. We know the accounting has improved, and we believe that TACs are being respected. We have much more confidence that this is the case than we did in the past.
