Toss in four hundred thousand protected pinnipeds that would only need to eat an average of 5 salmon a year to equal the 2 million. No your right don't think we will ever see those days again. The 12 to 200 mile limit was put in place to remove the foreign factory trawlers from our coasts. When I was salmon trolling with my brother on his little 26fter in 1976,it was common to be fishing around 4 or 5 russian trawlers that were working up and down the twelve mile limit. Over fishing yes but not by American fisherman.
