The fishermen target certain species to match their quotas but never know for sure just what, or how much, fish will end up in their nets
I'm all for a guy making a living but this netting thing needs to stop or be drastically reduced. Trolled-for fish are better quality and command a better price for the commercial fisherman.

Gillnetters, seiners can decimate a whole run of salmon but trawlers strip miles of ocean clean of almost all fish. mad


"SEINE, n. A kind of net for effecting an involuntary change of environment. For fish it is made strong and coarse, but women are more easily taken with a singularly delicate fabric weighted with small, cut stones."
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914)
