A low value species, Yellowfin sole dragging is one of the dirtiest fisheries there is. They used to get 900 metric ton quota of halibut to throw back dead. I think it is less now,somewhere in the 70 metric ton range. Also concerns about ground gear killing a lot of king crab. Hard to believe new vessels are being built for this travesty.
