TwoDogs, I appreciate your response but what about some numbers??

2007/2008 total fish/poundage commercially caught in the Snohomish/Stilly/Skagit "zones"

2005/2006 as well to compare the exploitation when roe prices were not as high

If accurate information is coming I would expect to see a direct correlation between the amount of fish commercially harvested and the price of chum roe in Asia. Prove me wrong and others who think the same thing as your response above does not provide much in the way of hard data on exactly what the commercials did to these specific runs in the past 2 years.
