and that's before they get it out of the net and onto the boat. Because of the weight in the net, almost everything is hauled aboard already dead. You concern about what's thrown away at the fish counter is a drop in the ocean (not that it's not valid).

We need an international moratorium until all stocks recover then draconian laws against all unsustainable fishing methods. The seas wouldn't be nearly destroyed if fishing were still done by independent contractors on small boats.
