This closure has nothing to do with actual landings .
It’s being pushed because the commercial buyers don’t want us catching fish at all above 47”

Sounds like we have another fight on our hands here Dan but I'm not familiar with how Bluefin are managed. I do know it's much different than other fisheries I've dabbled in and I have no contacts within those national management circles.. I'm certainly willing to learn and get involved where I can, once the Seabass is squared away.
