You can't possibly expect a species to recover when you have protected a predator that feeds on the young of the more desirable species.
It doesn't take a biology degree to realize that the explosion of the dogfish population (thanks nmfs) has adversely effected cod stocks.
IMHO ver similar to seals and Stripers - 10,000 gray seals on the back beaches of the cape don't give a crap about 2 @ 28, 1 @ 36, or whether something is a gamefish or on a menu.
In both situations, man is a culprit, but not the only factor.
