They are on borrowed time. Their sector quota will be reached and the nets will disappear sooner then in past years.

When they have an obsever on board they will not be able to discard. All fish that they catch that day will have to be brought in and counted towards their quota. And if they max out on one species they are done for the season. Prices have been so high for cod and haddock that they will not be saving their quota for the winter fishing. If prices drop the oppsit will happen.
