Old question, and I am not sure that there is an easy answer. The claim once was that it differentiated between Bows that sometimes look very silvery, but the scales are a dead give-a-way. I have heard that it is a management thing, the size of the fish can be measured with the whole fish, but not a fillet.
Sometimes laws like this are a vestige of the past, and have just not been changed.
Perhaps someone else has some more info on this.
