What is the main difference, scientifically, between Tribal Biology, and Other Biology? Agendas?
Tribal biologist works for and is paid by the tribe and isn't necessarily a tribal member, other biologists work for other entities such as WDFW, NOAA etc.
"Tribal biologist" is shorthand for a biologist who works for a tribe.
Uh, yeah, thank you. I am aware of the professional differences. Which is why I asked about the scientific differences, as from what I've seen, the two types of "Biologists" seem to arrive at different conclusions from time to time. That lead me to believe perhaps they had different agendas. If not there must be a fundamental difference in the sciences? Is there some sort of tongue in cheek face I should be making for this?
Where you see net fisheries managed for number of days per week throughout a season , it is likely that one of two things is happening. Either the quota has not been reached or the fishery is in some place like a hatchery terminal area where hatchery fish can be harvested with minimal impact on non-local fish.
Which of those scenarios do the Hoh and Quillayute Rivers set and drift gill net fisheries fall under? These are taking place at the river mouth, and upstream to about RM 10 on the Hoh. If it's the "quota has not been reached" gig, where can one find numbers to support that conclusion? Where can we find the quotas? Where can we find the catch rates? WHO's COUNTING THE FISH?? How are they doing it? When are they doing it? Where are they doing it?
Perhaps this should be it's own thread.
