Bycatch is bad for everyone except the crabs and lobsters. :^)
There's no way anyone can tell me that their recreational success is directly related to commercial takes. There just can't be that big of a dent put in them by hook and line comms to wipe out a population. Looks like some of the numbers that guys have posted supports that.
The real shame in the bycatch is that the killed fish aren't used by anyone.
