Wilke, yes that can be right. There is, however a lot more to it than that. In the very beginning the CDQ groups were 'watched' by the State and there were held to standards that were implemented when the Magnuson-Stevens act was passed. For the most part, these CDQ groups thought that the State's oversight was too onerous and lobbied Young to have them removed, which he did, with the passing of The Coast Guard Bill. As a result, the CDQ's now are 'self policed'. Imagine what that means! Internecine battles have been going on since the beginning of the program and still are. Most surround the idea of what the 'fair allocation' of pollock is or is not. THE classic one is between Coastal Villages and APICDA. The CDQ group with the most residents against the one with the least that happens to have a giant allocation compared to their population. 

AKcodpiece mentioned that it's just not pollock but crab, cod and other flatfish. However, the real big nut is pollock.
