But aunty

The number don't jive!

The numbers that are used just don't work. Bristol Bay Sockeye are just that.

The AK king returns, were down from projections. So were the Coho numbers.
So if Alaska was expecting 789,000 King Salmon. And they were only able to land 499,000. Are you saying that some of those 499,000 were supposed to go to the Columbia, the Sol Duc, Skok?

Do you believe that Alaska fisheries managers were so inept that not only did they miss the projected return by 289k. But they were counting some Washington fish to meet there projections?

I really don't believe that they are counting on any Washington,Oregon fish to meet their projections.
