The burbot thing is likely in reference to the caviar of them being desireable.....so you can catch and have 10 of em and if you don't eat the flesh and you do eat the caviar you can take the eggs and waste the rest of the fish. Hence why there is a limit and they are a game fish.

Kind of like with bears you can waste the carcass but have to save the hide.

They say that more than 60% of humans get their protein from fish.....

We mostly eat fish that comes from the ocean.....

We will deplete most of the ocean fish stock within the next 50 years.

Why kill the burbot???? Just cause they're ugly???

No, because Alberta is overrun with poachers, which is a psychological illness. Burbot are there so these people can feed their cravings for poaching - keeping well over their limit of ten. Once they're craving has been fulfilled, they can just waste them before they leave, and no harm done. It is part of the poacher prevention clause of the fisheries act...
