i think the real problem was the winter like deluge that came at the end of august... which no one expected and sucked everything out of the salt too quickly ending many salt fisheries earlier than planned....many hatcheries were surplusing fish earlier than they ever had because the fish came in all at once and too early....a couple managers i talked to were very uncomfortable surplusing before they even started taking eggs...it's hard to predict what the weather will be when seasons are set .....who would have thought there'd be 3 inches of rain in august?
