[quote PBH]What is the reasoning for reducing harvest of commercial and sport fishermen (original topic of this thread)?[/quote]
If I remember correctly, the original point of this thread is that the harvest by sport fishermen is going to be reduced, so the commercial harvest can be increased. If the proposal was the reduce everyone's harvest to help the species it would be a no brainer. But the proposal is to take away from the sport fishermen and give to the commercial guys. There was no consideration for the resource.
