I am ignorant on this subject, but have seen past posts. Thank You! If this is true. Why not close all harvest? Out of the US control? To big of an economic impact? Ocean temperatures/changes? Is this a bye catch issue? Have the stars aligned to produce this from a combination above. In Asian markets I see lots of what I call garbage fish, sardines included, that are freezer burnt and look like crap. And they are cheap. IMO not good for much but for bait. Seems like waste to me. History never seems to stop repeating itself.
