FB,
Interesting remark about gillnets. In some cases perhaps more than 100% of fish CAUGHT in gillnets die. High mortality on drop outs and seal/sealion predation. Again, the biggest hurdle to getting rid of gillnets is not that they are environmentally damaging (which should be the best reason) is that there are likeble people who fish them, and they politic much better than sports do. We can't even agree among ourselves.
