The groupers, red and gag, are a commonly targeted fish in the Gulf of Mexico, primarily for their food value. Commercial fishing interests are allotted 80% of the allowable catch each year, and all of the citizenry gets the remaining 20%. Calculations as to the fishery stocks, size limits, and months of closure to fishing are done by the government using ouija boards, pyschics, and numbers on a dart board. These results are then ratified by statistitians, agreed to by the commercial fishing lobby, and laws enacted. But seriously, National Marine Fisheries, NMF, has to be better than MMS, right?
