No, I do NOT personally believe them.

My gut feeling is that all the impacts are horribly understated... especially the gillnet numbers.

But I could a;so believe in the tooth fairy and it wouldn't make a bit of difference.

The number they come up with is the number that is used for management purposes. Doesn't matter what I think.
