There are ample protein alternatives to salmon avaialble for the general public. Salmon shold only be an option for the table if you go and harvest it yourself, just like all other wild game animals.


Agreed. But that will never happen. The industry is to big and those economies are engrained in coastal communities. If you look back in history the only way for them to end is total fishery collapse. A current example is the AK king and opilio multimillion $ commercial crab fisheries. We'll see how that industry holds up over the next few years. Collapse's are perfect opportunities to buy back commercial licenses and throw them in the trash!
