WDFW itself is in the egg business big time. Harvesting of various species has been expanded all over. When one species is wiped out ie Yelloweye rockfish they move on to something else.. Egg sales is just one example of allowing massive harvest of species raised in hatcheries with a bunch of taxpayer money to support commercial fishing. It seems to be a desperate struggle to prop up a dying industry. Look at the wider picture and see what is happening to species like marlin and sailfish...despite catch and release sports fishing Japan is making deals with Mexico to long line these species out of existence all up and down the coast of Mexico and South America. The ocean is quickly being strip mined of most species in the name of commercial fishing. In the waters of Puget Sound where marine life is more fragile we are going full speed ahead to strip our local waters of fish, crab, shrimp, geoduck, seaweed, kelp and whatever else can be made into sushi.
