I don't have the answers, I was hoping to start an interesting conversation with some ideas hitting the table.

What would happen if there was no commercial market for King and Coho salmon ? Could there then be a practically endless sport season with very liberal limits ? Would the sporties then allow other renewable resources such as Pink and Chum salmon to become commercially managed ?

What about end all commercial fishing/crabbing in inside waters ?
Can the Native net fishermen be influenced to avoid endangered stocks/species in exchange for more fish in total ?

Who/What will fund the hatcheries ?

I know the tuna are largely managed by commercial fishing, same thing for black cod, and several other species... I think there are a lot of fish that can be harvested commercially and keep the seafood industry afloat. What about halibut ? With an endless salmon fishery could the sporties get used to getting their halibut at the restaurant/market ?

Bottom fish ?

Just putting some stuff on the table for discussion.
