I agree, killnets should go. They are nothing but non-discriminating walls of death.
I disagree that most of the overage gets discarded, unless they have an observer on board or the EP's are out in force. The overage is what they like to call "rough cuts", quick hacked filets that are done by the crew and hidden on the boat. I'm sure they don't all do this, but most of them do ex the ones that my friends work on. I've talked to them about this in the past and it is a common practice. Not to many people out there that would throw a few thousand dollars overboard.
Ban gill netting!!! Do U know that one boat can put out up to 80 gill nets???? They over catch their daily Quota of cod and discard the rest over board, sometimes a couple thousand pounds and that sours the ocean floor meaning that the bottom fish do not return for awhile!!!!
