Ok FS lets try it another way. You don't see harvest in limiting factors because it was not politically acceptable to be put in when the great collapse came, this time. Second, THEIR WAS NO MONEY TO BE MADE in reducing harvest levels and locations. The so called Salmon Restoration biz with the grants, staffs, studies, that puts more money in the trough. Nobody in the government policy levels had the balls to take the issue on. One guy I know did and after a Sen screamed he got skinned and parked, right now. Another thing is this. Where stocks go in the marine environment differs. OR & WA have switched stocks and other things in this N / S turning to get away from the others ocean harvest and it impacts different streams differently.
Another is well take PS Chinook. Say tomorrow all hatcheries closed and it is now 4 years later. What happens? With no hatchery fish in the pool and now only wild, marine harvest ends. Tribal terminal will continue .............. sorta. You see AK & BC would fish on and now as we have only wild in the pool the impacts would be massive. No fisheries in PS other than terminal and many fisheries for other fall salmon would be curtailed due to lack of numbers to survive hooking mortality. In the end the loss of hatchery Chinook would be the worse thing to happen to the wild populations in PS and pretty much end non tribal harvest. ( that includes C&R )
This strange tale of harvest your looking at is a trail from AK to CA and huge parts are never seen. As to data, outside the C, it is about as accurate as the 3 week weather forecast.
