Seine Nets = 1% mortality rate?

That's some exciting news for the wild fish...................

So, logic would say that when CCA forces the Non-Tribal commercial fisherman to seine nets, they essentially would be able to fish the entire springer season? I'm not into doing the math right now but 1% is a double edge sword....

No, keith its not a double edged sword. Its an irrelevant number.

Now, that the state sees that commercial netters and tribal netters are NOT REQUIRED TO KILL WILD FISH, IN ORDER TO CATCH THEIR QUOTA, the number becomes irrelevant. The state can therefore use a completely different criteria to determine the quota.



Just so we are clear on LB's statement, the criteria can be changed by the"states", meaning this chocolate covered turd of an idea has to be sold in Salem, and being the greedy sportanger that I am, I will dedicate as much of my time that is necessary to stop this idiotic idea of super sizing the commercial gillnet fleet, in order to kill the hatchery fish we raised, but really don't want.
