The herring boats are not governed. They fish dicriminately with there mid water trawls with there by catch being COD; Haddock; Tuna; STRIPERS and what ever else that can not escape the net.They are suppose to have National Marine observers on board. Most of the time they don't.

You sure about that? Each commercial boat is equipped with a black box that tracks the boats EVERY move. I don't know of any other industry that is governed so closely.
