Tax and quotas and not GRT or carrying capacity have regulated the landings of various species over the years. Ce sont les taxes et les quotas et non les jauges brutes ou la capacité de charge qui ont déterminé les arrivages des différentes espèces au fil des ans. If we add to the GRT, we cannot receive permission although we are not adding to the carrying capacity or to the landings of fish. Tout ajout à la jauge brute nous retire l'autorisation, bien que cela n'entraîne nullement un ajout à la capacité de transport ni aux arrivages de poisson. It was hauling a capacity load.
