Atlantic fishermen can catch fewer spiny dogfish next year
What happened
US regulators propose cutting the amount of spiny dogfish fishermen can catch in the Atlantic by 10% in 2025. This means less fish for sale and potentially higher prices for consumers.
Why it matters
Every year, regulators set limits on how much fish can be caught to prevent overfishing. These limits directly affect the income of fishermen and the availability of seafood in markets. A cut in allowable catch means less revenue for those who fish for spiny dogfish.
The signal
Watch for public comments on the proposed rule, especially from fishing industry groups, to see if the cut is challenged or adjusted before it becomes final.
