No, but I think it's important to recognize that there are a large number of gillnetters. If you add up the total legal number of nets, they would stretch hundreds of nautical miles. That's the fishing power on one side. We have only a few seiners on the other side, and they have a quota that they are unable to catch, due to the restrictions placed on them. I think you have to look at this in a balanced way. Consider that the quotas are caught, that there is monitoring to ensure that the bycatches are controlled, and that there are not adverse impacts on other species.
