Sorry about that, had to take my daughter to School.

First I should thank you for the link, to the numbers. I really didn't believe it.
But now you have proven that the numbers do indeed jive.



So Lets go back to, Chinook Projected 789,000 fish actual 499,000. If you add in the 120,000 bycatch king salmon the Pollock fleet caught they still didn't meet their projected returns.

Then the Coho numbers for AK the projected return was 4,700,000 actual catch was 2,900,000. So Alaska is missing 1,800,000 Coho and 150,000 King Salmon.

The title of the Article is "Where Did All the Salmon Go" then it proceeds to pretty squarly place a bullseye on the 212,000,000 fish that the Alaska commercial fleet landed.

But when you look at the break down by species and Alaska's projected returns. Maybe Alaska should be asking the same thing, Who Caught all of our salmon!

Once again, I think that placing the blame for 2007 poor returns in WA, and OR. Squarly on the shoulders of the Alaska Commercial fishing fleet, Is a mistake.
