LB,

If you indeed are looking for some sort of concrete number to back up a forecast before fishing begins, then kiss fishing goodby for everyone.

There will ZERO saltwater fishing...ever...and no fishing in rivers until enough of a run has passed your fish traps.

Of course, if what you really mean is that there will be no commercial fishing without those hard numbers, then this just goes back to where it's been all along...no matter how much you call it a conservation organization, what it really is is just an allocation organization who thinks they can ban gillnets and then go fishing every day.

Fish on...

Todd
