"Blaming it all on 'marine conditions' is starting to sound more and more to me like 'let's blame it on something we have no control over'...and I'd accept that, if we were at least also fixing the things we DO have control over...but we're not, even when we know exactly what it would take to recover those fish populations."

Todd - I don't think I've ever agreed more with one of your statements. I can scarcely imagine how a research biologist manages in these times.

On that note, do any of you biologists have information on the now-extinct upriver stream-maturing stock? Were they more like Vancouver Island fish, Interior BC fish, or Deer Creek fish? I would imagine Diablo Canyon was rather selective.

What do you think, Joe?
