What is the normal time frame for this allocation process to occur? My understanding is that there was an expectation from Seafish to be able to go fishing the Friday before last, yet 'paperwork' issues are still holding up the process. What is the basis for what appears to be a variation from the normal process for allocating the quota once the registration matters are dealt with?
