"We have fish populations that have rebounded to the limit, the carrying capacity that the environment will support in its current condition"

Salmo,, that is just plain poppycock...

I bet you on average we are at less than 1% carrying capacity and less than 1% of the available habitat is being utilized for spawning...

You do not reach maximum carrying capacity until the volume of fish exceeds the volume of water discharge under normal conditions...

The situation of scarcity we are in regarding salmon is 100% manufactured on purpose... Same bankers that had the buffalo killed put us in this position...

Harvest was used as a purposeful tool to create a situation of scarcity so that the people could be under control and dependent rather than independent...
