ALOT of bycatch of Alaska Kings in the pollack fishery up there right now. definitely not the only reason returns are down but its a factor.

Also, if you think ocean conditions are bad now wait until climate change and ocean acidification dramatically reduce productivity in 30 years. Then we'll be wishing for the good old days of 2009. Thats why its so important that we control what factors we can such as hatchery impacts, freshwater habitat and harvest.
