As for sustainable harvest If i remember correctly what i was told by our local bio. When the SRD is able to do assessments to determine annual bio mass and sustainable harvest, and decide the number of fish they allow to be taken by tags, or not taken. It is less than half the sustainable harvest because illegal harvest and incidental mortality is often larger than legal harvest.

I can believe that fishing mortality, poaching, summer/winter kill could consume a considerable portion of the annual harvest.
No fisheries work yet, just a biologist and obsessive (fisherman).
