If this debate is going to continue, you might as well have the facts. Some number of fish equalling less than 3000 will be/have been netted from the ship canal for the tribal ceremonial/substance fisheries. This information was obtained from the Muckleshoot tribe. The Muckleshoots took around 800 of the 1000 they were allocated and the 2 other tribes with treaty rights each get up to 1000 as well. What I have been told is that these fish get distributed to tribal members. I do not know if any were sold, I have had nobody give me any reason to believe that they were. Except for biological study, there is no reason to conduct a test fishery for Sockeye as the counts through the locks are the agreed method of management.
