...all except for this part " the runs decline because of the nets."

They are certainly a huge contributing factor and I don't want to minimize that, however the full blame for our declining runs cannot be placed solely on the backs of nets.
You're right, there are other factors. The point I was trying to make was that with all other problems fixed (pristine habitat, no dams, no sportsmen) the runs would still decline as long as the tribes are free to net pretty much at will.
