overfishing at all. we can't go out and catch as much crab as we want, we're handcuffed by the state and the feds to tell us how much we can catch to help conservatively manage these stocks. so i think it really is just a mystery as of right now to what happened to the snow crab. we're really, again, in a bad financial situation. there's no program at all for fishermen across the country for rapid financial relief when situations like this happen that are -- the causes are unknown. so we're working closely with state and federal regulators to get some type of immediate financial relief appropriated to the state and to the fishing communities and the processors and the second and third-generation fishermen this is affecting that they are not sure they will be able to stay in business. >> hopefully some of those officials are watching you live now as well. gabriel, we are thinking of you and your family as you go through this difficult time. as you noted, other colleagues as well and businesses and many immigrants that are in this industry in the state of alaska. gabriel prout, thank you for your time. best of luck.
