Why does Washington manage its fish under MSY? It is proven as a failed system.

Many other states fall under the ruling of the Boldt Decision, (all states in the 9th district I believe) and they do not use MSY or do they?

Does Oregon, California, Idaho and Alaska manage their fish under MSY. I dont know about salmon but Im sure they dont manage Steelhead under MSY.

I have read that WDFW has said the Boldt Decision mandates that MSY is used as the management system. If other staes held under the Boldt Decision dont use it why can it not be changed?

Any experts out there that can enlighten me?
