How could switching to seine nets not help the overall fisheries? Gillnets are not only lethal to salmon, but every other living creature that comes into contact with them. Have witnessed everything from salmon smolts,herring,anchovies,candlefish,dogfish,crabs,seals(oh darn)and the list goes on,see thier demise from a gillnet. Seine nets on the other hand can be very selective and promote the unharmed release of most everything netted. Have witnessed the safe release of hundreds if not thousands of different species (chin,coho,pink,steelhead,chum,cutties,bottom fish,birds,seals,sturgeon,etc) by use of a seine net. Will a gillnetter be able to sucsessfully convert and be efficient at using a seine net?
