This is from last year. This years should be published soon. I'm sure there will be a reduction in the TAC of perch and it will be in the central basin areas. The problem is that if there are limited numbers of perch in the central basin the Canadian commercial fleet (200 license ) just pick up and move to where there are better numbers. There they WILL FILL THEIR TAC!. If MI, OH, PA, NY, filled their TAC, well you get the picture. The commercial take is worth maybe 100-120 million total Can/US. Go look up what the estimates say sport fishing brings just to the state of Ohio. I'm not going to beat a dead horse anymore but if you're interested do the research yourself. Be warned though...There is mot much info on the Canadians. They don't want anybody to know anything.
