Myself I believe that if there is no HABITAT there will be no SALMON

I believe that Habitat = SALMON



Here's a Question that I have been asking for almost a year now and no one can answer.

"If those Salmon can't get to the Habitat to use, then why spend the money on Habitat recovery? Anyone?"





For once I sort of agree with Jerry Jason, do you think they can distinguish between Alaska and Washington fish when their netting them up in huge amounts in the ocean? Just because their catch numbers don't add up to their projections doesn't mean they didn't catch a sh.it pile of Washington fish. It's not as cut and dry like you seem to think...Later

No I don't think they can distinguish between AK and WA fish. But when you look at the numbers.
That the actual data, The projected return of King Salmon was 789,000 they caught 499,000.

Then the groundfish fishey had a 120,000 king salmon by catch.

The average by catch for 1990-2001 for King salmon was 37,819. The numbers are obiviously shooting throught the roof.Factory trawlers are intercepting, WA's or AK's Or just about anyones King Salmon.


The trawlers are indeed catching these fish ,that fishery needs some better regulation. But the article mentions the AK salmon fishery. No mention of the bycatch date from the groundfish trawl fishery.
