Smalma, It's an interesting question. And in my mind the question needs to be framed in this context. What % of a run should be allowed for harvest? The author of the book I posted about states that 50% is sustainable and practical. Now, there are several issues with this not the least is can we in fact make accurate pre-spawning forecasts to judge the size of a run? Under the current situation and with our fisheries managed under the Maximum Sustained Yield model, I believe it is best to err on the side of caution and release wild salmon. My $.02
