Wrong on that one. Ab diving was a limited fishery, both in terms of permit numbers and daily take, BUT with daily limits in the 150-ish range at the end of the legal fishery (can't remember exactly) and too many permits the end was near. Feed any ab you find and we MIGHT be able to take a legal harvest in 20 more years if conditions are good and people stop poaching. I'm tired of finding fairly fresh shells with pry marks.
