yea, I see now....had to go back to my textbook. You seem as if you know a lot of these fisheries terms. I am usually the one throwing these around . I am in my second year of study towards my masters degree in fisheries management so its not often I have someone make me look back in the books . Yes, recruitment overfishing does occur....but in my experience it occurs on small bodies of water...such as Mamanasco as Jimfish stated....but again a lack of research and positive determination that the overfishing has caused the decline in stocks...
