Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, those harvest numbers are derived using mathematical models. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY that EVERY fish is physically counted. What about the unreported tribal catch being sold out of the backs of pickups. What about the poachers keeping more that their limit, or not marking the fish on their catch record cards. My point is, there is NO SUCH THING as absolute data when it comes to fish numbers. They basically amount to nothing more than a "Best guess". Also, statistics can be skewed in a myriad of ways to support whatever agenda a specific group is trying to put forth.
