Mako Mike,
The question is: did the ASMFC change the method this year to predict population as Burns cites and if they used last years method would the mortality be deemed "overfished"?
This comment kills me...he has got to go:
Paul Diodati of MA suggested that since the stocks appeared to be healthy, that maybe the stocks could be fished harder than originally thought, and that the overfishing threshold could therefore be raised.
