Increase the mesh size commercial trawlers use to protect fish stocks
Cod are a shoal species, but as individual fish grow, the number in the shoal decreases. Once a codling reaches 3lb, it is big enough to be trapped by the commercial gill net mesh and that's when a dramatic decrease in numbers occurs.
Mesh sizes need to increase to allow stocks to recover!
