I don't know how to post links, or pictures. You can(should) look this up and do your own research.

M2 central basin west (huron-fairport) commercial Yellow Perch total quota for 2020 may-nov 384,778 lbs
Harvested in 2020 may-nov 248,721 lbs

What's a 1 man limit of 30 perch weigh? 6lbs is a good day? Over 40,000 1 man limits taken by netters and me keeping 30 vs 20 has a significant impact on population? Maybe if I caught a limit everyday, been years since I even had 1 limit.

Researchers say yellow perch move north south with seasons/temperatures not east west like walleye. This means m1 perch stay in m1, m2 stay in m2, so on and so forth.

Research in other parts of the country indicate that spiney water fleas get caught in young of the year fishes throats and can be deadly, but older fish can feed on them, and do. Fleas eat other algae eating zoo plankton= more algae=more hypoxic dead zones. Fleas can reproduce asexualy as well as spawn several times a year, and are phenotypically plastic and reproduce with larger spines to protect from predation.

More natural predation (walleye, cormorants)+ more competitive feeders (white perch, gobies) +less natural forage (emerald shiners)+ poor habitat (hypoxic dead zones)= ?
Last few years the ODNR said you need to change tactics, perch are there but are suspended. Now perch are not there.

What's more important a sustainable fishery or the economy driven via recreational fisherman?

Golf? No thanks!

I hope(earnest expectation) populations of yellow perch will rebound with this change in daily limit. I also pray the commercial harvest gets significantly reduced.
