Care to elaborate on what these "extreme measures" are? [/B]
I agree, that's why I've repeated several times we need a more encompassing management strategy. But even with strict enforcement, all the above have a large impact.

By extreme measures I'm referring to the fishing restrictions put in place in the 80's. Like taking the commercial harvest down to nearly zero.
