Here's some research that sheds more light on this issue.

More on how the PDO impacts our salmon populations.
For those who are saying ocean conditions and salmon abundace don't interact, the PDO is the engine that drives ocean conditions, good or bad.

Freespool,

I hear that when I was gone today that you edited your original post two times. Adding 1 link this morning and adding the second link this afternoon. What is that an old gill netter trick to try to bolster your position when you think nobody is looking? rolleyes

To answer your question. I try to have a basic understanding of the ocean from previous posts from WA1A and the links he provides. I always look forward to new links to add to the other ones I have collected. A thread awhile back set me back at least 2 years behind in my reading though. Thanks rofl

One of your concerns throughout this thread has been stocks that continue to not recover. The feds with the DEIS appears to be heading in that direction of assessing all rivers and working on the problem from weirs to selective fishing. Working on the rivers that will need the most attention first if I’m reading it right.

If and when they do start to recover, then I hope that my concern of MSY in my neck of the woods doesn’t bog down the process and put a lid on recovery.
