It is.

And so a lot of other nations don't allow that.

So a lot of them will do what they call full retention of bycatch.

They say if it came up in a trawl net, we're assuming it's dead.

Fins are wiggling a little bit.

So you guys have to bring it all back to shore.

We're going to go through all of it in this neutral facility.

So it's not like there's an observer out there with six crew members hanging over their shoulder.

They just say if it came up in the trawl net,

It's dead.

You guys bring it back to shore so we can get an accurate count.

But Alaska doesn't do it like that.

And especially on halibut, it doesn't do it like that.

So what we've seen up there is they get about, so last year, I think it was 4.3 million pounds of halibut bycatch mortality.

So those are the ones they assumed dead.

So closer to 8 million pounds would have been brought up onto the deck.

They threw them all back and they assumed about half of them went.

4.3 million pounds.

Well, the survival rates already been applied to that 4.3 million.

So those are the ones that definitely died.
