there's warnings against fishing for it. That doesn't however keep those morons from allowing a bycatch quota of *checks notes* 640 tons (from the article). So, I suppose I shouldn't have been so elementary in my statement. Maybe we should just stop eating anything from the ocean/fish/seafood/stuff that swims. Better?
