I am aware of the tendency to overfish. That's why I and other biologists tried to set up a relatively conservative management scheme for chum when we could. Now we'll see if we can make it stick as the demand increases. I'm betting we will because overall the abundance has increased, and the fishermen will see the benefits of that.

In the Skeena and Nass the summer steelhead are harvested concurrently with the sockeye fishery, I believe. We don't have that situation, fortunately, in Puget Sound.
