The concern of the commercial fishing industry stems from the fact that 

 the ASMFC doesn't communicate with the industry. The Commission appears 

 to limit its comnunication to other bureaucrats. The fact that the 

 Cbfrmission ' s Advisory Panel is not seated with members of the commercial 

 fishing industry is particularly troublesome. "North Carolina's Hogarth says 

 fishermen have valid concerns. The commission does not consider econanic 

 impacts of its actions, he says." (Biro, 1992)
