Last year at NOF, WDFW staff threw out a shocking number. Does anyone know the percentage of AK fish that SEAK fisheries catch? I went through the handouts and couldn't find it, and the numbers don't add up according to harvest records, but I'm absolutley sure WDFW reported that number at 4%.

The Canadian ocean fisheries catch only 30% their own fish.

Wasn't there DNA testing a few years back that came up with an over 80% non-targeted catch rate for SEAK fisheries?
