If we looked at trawl bycatch as a multi- species problem how many of these would be net loss fisheires.<br /><br />Has anyone looked into how much of the gulf pollock TAC gets sent directly to the fish meal plant?<br />No ex-vessel price and thus no state/local/raw fish tax but since the processors own bio-dry and sell the product it is a tax free money source.<br /><br />How much MORE product would come across Alaska docks if we operated under the Canadian system?? and thus how much more employment/taxes/cash would result?<br /><br />Why isn't Chris Oliver asking these ?'s instead of mouthing unsupportable lies from the trawl/processing sector?<br /><br />What portion of the trawl fleet is owned by the processors?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248187375964492769.post-21066615510667753082012-02-14T18:05:29.578-08:002012-02-14T18:05:29.578-08:00dont you want a copper roof?dont you want a copper roof?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248187375964492769.post-10086869305733911582012-02-13T01:25:17.144-08:002012-02-13T01:25:17.144-08:00What is your projection on when they will take ste...What is your projection on when they will take steps to uncover the bycatch?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248187375964492769.post-38788015034935011342012-02-12T09:16:00.158-08:002012-02-12T09:16:00.158-08:00Finally, just as I was having tholepin withdrawals...Finally, just as I was having tholepin withdrawals a new informative post.
