We can exploit the pelagic species while taking into consideration issues like maximum sustainable yield, monitoring stocks and so forth. It also takes the pressure off in terms of the exploitation of demersal species. Pelagic fish are also much quicker to recover.

In my opinion the Marine Institute provides more information on pelagic stocks that we fish, species such as herring, mackerel, tuna, boarfish, sprat and horse mackerel. They take the pressure from the demersal species. Does Dr. Pikitch have an opinion on that option as a political strategy?
