Please tell NOAA that you believe that dorado from Mexico should be included to the list of IUU at-risk species. Dorado from Mexico should not be allowed to be imported into the United States for a number of reasons. All sport fisherman who have fished out of San Carlos, Sonora Mexico understand that there is a huge turtle by-catch in the illegal long line dorado fishery in Mexico. In the past The NOAA has enacted a prohibition on shrimp from Mexico due to incidental by-catch of turtles. Shrimp fishing is legal in Mexico. NOAA continues to allow dorado, which is an illegal fishery in Mexico, to enter the United States. Dorado has a 20% incidental by-catch of marine turtles. Many thousands of times higher than the shrimp fishery. Illegal fish mafias in Mexico must no longer be allowed to import dorado to the Unites States.
