I'm curious also? What net pens, locations and species, used to be in service around the 80's? What are, if any are in service now? If not, why not? I knew Blackmouth net pens were in service and producing back in the heyday late 70's, early 80's from Olympia to Port Townsend. Did'nt know much about Coho net pens back then. I do remember catching lots of fall adult Coho jigging So of Narrows. Huge numbers returned until the El Ninio of 84-85. Never has been the same since. Seems recently, I have heard net pens are starting up again. Anyone have any details?
