It's not a bad idea, the trouble is the cost of enforcement and who pays for it and maybe equally important is who takes responsibility for the enforcement. Not to mention the cost of studying each species to the point where they can make an educated decision on how best to protect them (ban/limited fishery).
I would suspect that in 99% of cases it would be significantly cheaper to have an outright ban and take the hit on the economy, than it would be to spend the $$$ on research and enforcement.
