Fishermen are given allotments of fish .
Under the old system, fishermen were allowed a certain number of days at sea.
Yes I read that in the article, it is a system similar to what we have here in Texas with shrimp. Except Texas control both the hours of operation and the amount that can be taken (limit). But that does not answer my question about the foreign boats. Are all boats subject to the same rules and if not, why not?
If the goal is to replemish the stock then only imposing rules on American boats in international waters is doomed to fail.
