I understand the sarcasm, but blues aren't in much danger right now..
Overexploitation is more common with good tasting groundfish.. There is just not that big of a market for blues, and a lot of them are left swimming in the water where they belong.. Give it a few years, maybe some world famous sushi chef will start making delectable creations from fresh bluefish, all the other sushi chefs world wide will copy him and get in on the craze, and before you know it, a 15 pound bluefish is a $500 fish... Instant"overexploitation", and 1 bluefish bag limit..
Stranger things have happened.... bob
