...how the IPHC has changed they're halibut biomass "models" from years past because of bait switches & figured they had a credit to burn up. The last few years 5ish the gulf trawl fleet hasn't reached the limit of halibut bycatch, and have been substantially under the threshold. A bycatch limit set by the council.  This happening while fixed gear halibut bycatch and sub legals mortally released haven't been calculated as there were no observer requirements back then, not to mention the direct halibut fishery rewards the vessels that catch the bigger halibut or the breeders. Say you're a parent of two. You give your kids an allowance to spend. One kid spends theirs right away, while the other kid saves theirs. Do you take the allowance away from the one that saved theirs to give to the kid that didn't?
