I did not see the sentence above the commercial paragraph.

What "commercial paragraph"?
And, we need to distinguish between commercial crabbers and commercial passenger fishing vessels.

Entanlgement trigger$$$. I guess if the whales are as close as they are at Pacifica now not sure the purpose or how to respond to a trigger going off. Gear reduction and depth restriction. I can only handle 3 hoops on a yak and will rarely pull from 60-7ft. Tampering prohibition. I thought tampering was across the board an assumed no no like pots. Poachers gonna poach. I stay on my line pretty much the whole session. What about southern(conical) hoop nets :smt044, not sure what a Northern hoop net(flat) is vs. a hoop net. I guess I could look it up. Prohibit colors? High viz is quite essential.
I guess I've lumped commercial with commercial passenger vessel of which I am neither.
This is just my brainstorming thought process.
LoletaEric:
If ambush traps weren't lumped in with actual rings/hoop nets, then legitimate, active ring fishing probably wouldn't be scrutinized for prohibition.
