I would not be surprised to find that behind closed doors in Ottawa, there is something other than biology driving these changes on some of these species. All you have to do is look at areas where land claims have been signed and see that guaranteed quota of various species is part of the signed agreement. And with all the various bands on the coast working towards signed agreements they of course will be expecting quota guarantee. And since the courts have told the govt that they shall, there is no option. So they (the govt) are getting the ducks in a row, getting quota in the bank to start including with the agreements as they slowly come up for signing.
