Just received an email about 2018 RI regs for striped bass.

The following statement has me confused:

((No licensed dealer may purchase and/or offer for sale any striped bass where the right pectoral fin has been removed (RIMF Regulations, Part 7 – Dealer Regulations)

If everyone who catches/keeps a legal bass is required to clip the right pectoral fin immediately how does the dealer get any bass without the fin already clipped?
