If co-management worked, both sides fish to rather set number. It really shouldn't matter who goes first as they are only taking half. What happens, though, is that the one who goes first fishes on escapement and the whole harvestable while the one sucking hind [Bleeeeep!] fishes on escapement and their half only. This means more sorting to get the share.

This assumes accurate forecasts. If the forecast is under then the one that follows not only fishes on the crumbs but bears the conservation burden. Unless, of course, if they fish to the share then escapement gets the shaft.
