Fishing is a well-orchestrated dance among many dancers. If some of them don't want to take part in the dance, it may weaken the others. Processors are among the players whose contribution is important to the entire industry.
I won't hide the fact that it is increasingly difficult to attract the next generation of fishers. The cost of acquiring fishing licences has skyrocketed, so those who want to get into this kind of business now have to assume a very significant financial risk.
