I had to a couple more comments to Piemma's closing remarks. Increasing recently is a major concern that many of the river herring (alrewifes and bluebacks) are being collected in the pair trawlers targeting sea herring. Some reports point to the schools mixing or at least in close proximity. The finest commercial electronics in the world are not likely to differentiate between a river herring and a sea herring in massive schools of fish. This is something that is beginning to get a lot of attention and deserves a lot more.
OK - back to closed
