The ASMFC likely doesn't care where the fish come from. They care about total coast-wide catch. How the numbers breakdown state to state doesn't matter to them or the fish population. It is the fish that are caught and sold without being reported that are a problem........and one they find convenient to ignore as long as their population estimates can be spun to suggest all is well.
