You might had trouble in figuring out how a sentence which doesn't have a modifier such as which , that , etc could possibly modify the preceding sentence , Gmat is a verbal reasoning session not a grammar checking session , my point is meaning plays a sacrosanct role in determing the answer to a sentence , as in the above case the word 'circumstance' should trigger the doubt as to which circumstance the reference is to inevitably leading us to the previous part of the sentence
helping us beter understand that the inability of the authorities to put a limit on the size of the fish as in the case of cod or haddock fish has lead to the inevitable decimation hope this helps !!!!

Thank you for this helpful explanation.
To clarify, would Choice A be incorrect if the following was switched around to read as follows:
"There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, as there are for cod and haddock, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing." Does the "as there are for cod and haddock" need to be as close as possible to "limits"?

The "as there are" part still seems fine in your example -- the meaning is still fairly obvious.
But that change introduces another issue:
- Now "cod and haddock" is between "monkfish" and the pronoun ("their").
- As per our last point, this would make the meaning of the pronoun a bit less clear: does it refer to "monkfish" or to "cod and haddock"?
- By extension, the meaning of the last part ("a circumstance...") would become less clear. Are we talking about the depletion of monkfish or the depletion of cod and haddock?
Would those issues make (A) absolutely WRONG? Maybe, but as we say all the time, your job is to pick the best option, not to look at each option in a bubble and label it definitively right or wrong. So if you understand why (A) is the best of the options we're given, you've done your job.
I hope that helps!
