I'll use redfish as a specific example, but I think this applies more broadly to other fisheries that go through this type of moratorium and then reopen.
With redfish, it is what we call a pulse fishery, so it is susceptible to significant ups and downs, if you will.
We closed it around 1994, and then several years later we instituted an index and an experimental fishery. This was to ensure that we had data that we could use, which also ensured some level of access to harvesters to maintain a foothold in industry, and that continued for a number of years. Once we saw that there was enough recruitment in the stock and that it was rebuilding to a healthier biomass, the conversation then shifted to change that from an index and an experimental fishery back to the commercial fishery. We launched consultations, even before getting into numbers, on exactly what would be the most important criteria to consider. Of course, we heard different things from different groups, depending on their perspectives, and we were left with any number of choices.
Again, using the historical allocation key as a basis from which to start, we then looked at other issues. We noticed that the estuary and gulf shrimp harvesters had suffered immensely, possibly and quite directly as a result of the burgeoning redfish, where there is a predation-prey relationship.
