Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 27, 2008, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopted regulations related to the menhaden reduction fishery in Texas waters which limits the Total Allowable Catch (“TAC”) to 31.5 million pounds annually (the five year average menhaden catch for reduction purposes in Texas waters from 2002 through 2006). The regulations also allow for a 10% underage or overage in each year which is credited or deducted, as applicable, to the TAC in the following year.

The Company’s menhaden fish catch in Texas in 2007 is tentatively and preliminarily estimated by the National Marine Fisheries Service to be 35.3 million pounds (approximately 16,000 metric tons), or approximately 2.5% of the Company’s total 2007 fish catch. Based on the Company’s understanding of the rule as adopted, the limitation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation or financial condition.
