read the whole article.. at no point did it mention WHY they were being limited

I did read how a majority of the fish eaten in the US comes from foreign sources... even when domestic sources for the same fish exist.

instead of limiting domestic catch, they should be increasing tariffs on imports, helping to shift the market to domestic suppliers

people should point out that the ppl in govt aren’t trying to help them... but make them more dependent on govt assistance

A lot of processing is done in China, because it's cheaper to ship it there, have it cleaned and ship it back here. The round-trip shipping cost was about 20 cents a lb, port-to-port for refrigerated container-loads a few years back. I got this info second-hand, and have no idea if domestically-caught fish that are processed abroad have to be labeled as being of foreign origin.
