Dangerous survey question

[Taxman]

I was filling our a survey regarding headboat fishing in the Gulf and this was one of the questions. Options was $10 per fish or $50 plus other variables on the next 2 screens.

Many recreational fisheries, including gag grouper, are managed through bag limits to help ensure the fishery is not depleted. An alternative management option used in some fisheries is where fishermen pay a fee per fish they retain. For the next two choices, assume that there is an alternative fishery management in place where there are no limits on the number of gag grouper you can retain (i.e. no bag limits), but rather a fee for each gag grouper retained.

The fees would be collected by the headboat operators as customers leave the vessel at port. The headboat operators would keep the money from the fees in return for operating under strict regulatory limits per vessel on the number of gag grouper that their customers can catch and keep for the year.

How acceptable do you find the fishery management option where there are no limits on the number of gag grouper you can retain (i.e. no bag limits), but rather a fee for each gag grouper retained?

Not only is this a bad idea but something tells me corruption would be a major issue
