The stock may be adequate, the quality of the fishery is not.

That is because quality is not something of concern when the management agenda is for maximum sustainable yield.

Given our numbers, northeast recreational fishermen deserve one species managed for the quality of the fishery, rather than yield. That is the best argument for gamefish status.
