I think a lot of it is that DFO wants an effort reduction. How do you do an effort reduction and still keep that enterprise viable? One fishing enterprise can only reduce by a certain amount before that enterprise is not viable. So the conclusion you would take would be to reduce the number of enterprises. The reason for that is that if the enterprises get more concentrated in a certain area due to the fact that there are higher catches in that area, it would just normally bring down the catches in the area where the concentrations went to. If you reduced those areas that are heavily concentrated, it would make those enterprises more viable.
The lobsters are reproducing at a very good rate. The issue is that the economics of the fishing enterprise are making it harder and harder to make a living at it.
