Thank you.
I'm going to look at some other species here on the continental shelf. There's redfish in 2GHJ and 3K. There's witch flounder and winter flounder. There haven't been assessments of these species in quite a few years, which limits fishing potential for harvesters and for processors. Why does it take so long to have an assessment of some of these species?
Fishermen talk about the abundance of these species, yet we can't get assessments to prove their abundance and give additional fishing opportunities to harvesters. Why are you holding back these assessments?
