Most of the dead discards in flounder and trout seem to be the undersized fish due to various issues and injury due to hooks for recreational fishermen. Are undersize fish counted as the dead discards?
I have to ask but I went to buy some live blue crabs & some softshell blue crabs but isn't the size limits 5" Carapace ? So how can they legally sale them if so , that's coming from a seafood wholesale here in NC but they do get them from commercial fisherman ... Small crabs , lucky to measure out at 4" ... I definitely turned them down because I didn't want to get a ticket from trying to get them home them....
Once again go DMF.
Anyone can manipulate actual facts to reflect positively for commercial fisheries. Good job!

It’s insane that the state funds the ncfa
NCFA is totally funded by the commercial fishermen and the industry and gets NO state or federal funding.
