We don't do our own science on mackerel. However, about 50% of our budget goes back out to communities to conduct research, science and work that they feel is important, and so...happy to collaborate on any research that is brought to us by the fishing associations. However, I think we follow DFO science, which is really what most fisheries industries rely upon. That is why we are advocating for more discussion to be had so that it does include harvesters' knowledge. A lot of discussion happens at the advisory committees, as you know.
