"(30 fish is just not right)"
What is hard to understand here...we're dealing with a quota ...a million pounds is a million pounds...one at a time or 30 at a time. The main purpose of the weekly 30/30/30/5 open days & quota was to spread the catch out for a longer period during the season to avoid flooding the market, depressing the price and to allow the market/buyers to plan for a consistent supply over a longer period. If we went to 10 a day it's just more time on the water and $$ in gas.....same million pounds.
