They assume there's about 8 billion pounds of pollock in the Bering Sea each year is this population.
And we're harvesting about 3 billion pounds of it.
So it's not like you're leaving 99% in the water.
You know, you're at like 40% or so.
So there's not much room for error.
And Trull will make this case that, you know, we talked about this 375-foot boat.
It might cost $100 million to be built.
they say we can't fish less because we have these huge boat payments and every day we're tied up to the dock means that we're losing money you know we just our businesses can't survive on that um but that's a pretty poor way to manage a wild resource you know like imagine we said that we don't tell guides that with bighorn sheep you know or whatever it may be if the sheep are having a bad year you know then you guys are tied up and we're seeing that in alaska that

Yeah.
And so that brings up another interesting point with how these fisheries are managed.
There's a federal board which regulates these trawl fisheries.
And the majority of that is made up of people who are vested in the trawl industry.
So an example is one of them is a vice president of a,
a group which lobbies or as an industry rep for trawl.
