PrepTest 68, Section 2, Question 26
Sarah: When commercial fishing boats with permits to fish for certain species accidentally catch a type of fish for which they have no permit, the latter must be thrown back. This is a very wasteful practice because many, if not most, of the rejected fish do not survive. Fishing permits should therefore be altered so that fishers can keep fish caught accidentally.

Amar: Making it legal to keep those fish would probably lead to a lot more "accidents."
