Default Re: Fisherman hope to tip scales?

I believe if Marine Fisheries outlawed wholesalers from paying more for different grades (sizes) of a particular species . . . you'd eliminate the "culling" that goes on w/o needing to spend resources monitoring the boats. That law alone would make a huge impact on the fish stocks.

There's another whole issue of the damage done to an ecosystem when you rake the bottom of inshore feeding grounds everyday (all day), but that's beyond my understanding.
