I don't know how many times it has to be written, but it's all four and not equally all four limiters for each system.

WHY is that so difficult for you to grasp? Maybe if you'd not speak in absolutes, we could progress in the discussion?


OK Aunty, I'll ask you to produce a stock assessment survey that lists over harvest as a limiting factor for recovery.
It seems many are calling for measures to limit harvest, but they can't produce any evidence that it is in fact a real limiting factor for recovery.
Now add the fact that wild steelhead, for the most part, haven't been harvested for over 25 years, yet there seems to be little to no recovery associated with this policy.
So again where's the science?
