The trouble with ceasing all fishing is that the tribes who get to fish "in kind" would not participate. The sad fact is that their 50% of zero does not equal ZERO....When we all stop taking our 50% (some say about 40%) of the harvestable fish we won't save the fish they will simply become "foregone opportunity." I think the treaties meant that the tribes should be able to participate in fishing on the same playing field as the rest of the people in the land. That argument is worse than this wild fish quagmire.

By the way does anyone have a measure of when we have "saved" the wild fish? And when they are officially saved what then? I think by the time that day comes salmon will only be available as a genetically engineered paste in one of those squeeze tubes the astronauts use to feed themselves in space.
