I understand from my lobster fishermen that they were paying $1.40 a pound for heads and tails of redfish for bait, but the fish itself is.... In at least one instance in my community, there were over a million pounds of the fillets, through the experimental fishery that's been going on, that are still in storage and unable to be sold.
If the minister does increase the TAC, how are we going to sell 25,000 tonnes, let alone 50,000 or whatever number, no matter who catches it? Where's the market for it?
