I don't know whether this is the case in the other provinces, but here, there are very good assessments in terms of landings. Thanks to diving surveys and trawling, scientists have a good idea of what is on the seabed. We know what is going on. That may be open to debate, but I do believe that scientists have a good idea of the amount of lobster or lobster biomass that is there.
The wide variety of tools we have enables us to exercise complete control. In an equation, certain variables will have much more weight than others, in percentage terms. The final variables then become negligible. Even if you add more, they are negligible. The idea is to find the right ones—the ones that will carry weight within the system.
Indirectly, if you are thinking of something like the enterprise allocation system for a fishery like the lobster fishery, the answer is no. And the reason it is no is that the enterprise allocation system is used where there are huge or significant volumes per enterprise unit. That does not apply when the resource is spread over a large number of enterprises, in which case we are better off using the current system. You cannot maximize returns with an enterprise allocation system that is spread over a large number of enterprises. Just consider the fact that, to this day, that system only operates for midshore fishers in Nova Scotia. This is not a system that should be considered at this time for the lobster fishery. There is no absolute proof that this system would be a great deal better in terms of controlling the fishing effort.
