Wow! Really! Silver Bay, they would never do anything like that!
ReplyDeleteIt's that type of disregard for the regs. That is SBS
ReplyDeleteWatch Out SBS the big boys (vertical inegrators)are gunning for you.
DeleteWonder which one these guys work for?
It's unfortunate that the fisherman who caught the undersize tanner crab are/is not being prosecuted. In the end, if SBS mixed the load of crab from several fisherman and didn't catch the small crab before processing-then they're held accountable. I wonder what the percentage of small crab was in comparison to the total amount of the load on the tender; it must have been significant. SBS better fix their tender contracts, and hold the guy stamping the fish ticket responsible for monetary fines in the future...thats my .02 for Zuanich.
