There was a huge fight among pollock companies on this issue. The stock assessment would have allowed a higher harvest and some companies wanted to grab it. As a political/legal strategy, other companies wanted to leave the increase on the table.
The big catcher processors are undercutting the catcher boats and the shore based processors. They are simply much more efficient with less BS to deal with. You will see Trident transition to a catcher processor fleet. Its rumored they are selling assets in order to buy up American Seafoods assets.
