I suspect the haddock and cod fishery is many times more important than the midwater herring fishery.

Strip mining anything has short term economic benefit. That does not make it an economically sound decision.

Improving the groundfish stocks very likely has national economic benefit several hundred times greater than anything vacuuming up their young and forage produces.
