Very well said. Regardless of who has done it, harvest has been a factor in salmon declines, along with a bunch of other factors, for sure. I'm in the same boat as you concerning "recovery". I truly think we can recover much of our fishing through hatcheries well managed, but we will not come close to "recovery" through pure wild fish strains because we only have five percent of our habitat that we had a hundred years ago., according to researchers at O.S.U.
