considering I have seen some of the previous historical data and decision making, I would say this is a half and half science vs politics. Fisheries law makers are being extremely cautious with the cod stocks and although dissapointed, I am fine with the closure. I know people have been catching a lot but if they want to wait until the numbers are very robust im fine it, although to base a closure on 1 year of data is extremely premature, I think they got scared on the over harvest actual numbers compared to the predicted, so whatever. I think the haddock closure and number are 100 percent due to commercial and political pressure. Again law makers are being super cautious and don't want to have a collapse again, however; who has the bigger impact, commercial guys or rec guys, plus numbers wise says haddock are doing fine.
