IMO- this is where the problem lies with the MSA-they're trying to manage a fishery in a fashion just so it doesn't collapse again.

theres no thought about quality, next years catch, the possibilty for errors, etc. they're treating the fish like pork bellies, or any other commodity. its not something that is worth saving- it has "worth" when you kill it
