This quote just boggles my mind:

"The recreational fishing industry generates $600 million (US$438 million) in economic activity a year, while the commercial side takes 80 percent of the catch and produces about $42 million (US$30.1 million) in landed value, he said."

Salmon are forever screwed until the days of "cheap fish at Safeway" are a thing of the past.

This is another very sad quote:

"John said any government proposal for quotas would be viewed by Indians with skepticism "mostly because it's left the aboriginal communities out of that system" in the past."

I'd better run this by Magic 8 Ball:

"Magic 8 Ball, will the salmon industry collapse up in Canada?"

"Signs Point to Yes."
