The final work on evaluating fish stocks always takes up most of the off-season to get it all done. It's hard to get final numbers, exact quota numbers, but I think there could be a higher level of openness in terms of communicating trends or directions ahead of time and some indication of what might be coming, even if the exact numbers aren't known. You might not know exactly what kind of quota is coming at you, but at least directionally are you going to be up or down? If it's going to be up, is it going to be significant? If it's going to be down, is it going to be significant?
I think there's room for at least getting that notice out early. It's pretty tough if a week or two before you're supposed to start fishing you find out all of sudden whether it's 13.5% or thereabouts that our 3K fleet got or 63% that the gulf fleet got. To get that virtually on the eve of the season is.... There's no good time to get it, but at least you can do the best you can to prepare for it with a bit more notice.
