I trust the Kenai one, spent enough time on that river to say that when the sonar said there werent enough kings in the river, it seemed to be true. same goes for sockeye numbers there too. Dont you think part of it could be the state being smart enough to be careful with such a HUGE money maker for them? the fishery on the peninsula is worth $$$$$ and if they miss manage it they loose out big time!
There are numerous sonar stations and weir that work very well are and key management tools all accross AK.
To fix the savage problem the deffinition of harvistable fish would need to be drawn out or in a perfect world be changed to non.
