Maybe we will have a decision before April 18th.

The two proposals above are the same except the /or over 40". The original proposal was for 44" and the Soloman's group changed it to 40 or 41 in a letter to TFAC.

Either way, the intention was to protect the breeders of over 36". I might add that the commercial sector has a max limit of 36".

Reds,
Sorry, the proposals that I was referring to were the two in 5th's original post.
"one fish over 36" and "one fish between 28 and 36" and one over 40".
The one fish over 36" doesn't do much protecting of the breeders.
