Hi Reds, Thanks for trying to answer my question, but I hate to admit I am stupid and that is all legalize or science that I do not understand.
There was an easily definable trigger to open the fishery from the moratorium, and it was a 3 year average YOY index above 8, so there must be a trigger to either start to rachet it back or shut it down.
What I saw in your answer was that we are striving for maintaining a maximum sustainable yeild estimated to be 0.41% and our fishing mortality rate in the bay is F=0.27. Those numbers means nothing to me, but a YOY index average under 8 or trying to maintain a population of spawning age fish at a particular number would make sense to me.
Can you tell me what you response translates to in data that I may be familiar with, if that is even possible?
