I wish you would pay attention I posted this earlier today.
More than 28,000 more fish projected per year to catch over the 10 year average when Selective live capture begins.
Page 14 of this thread if you want to read the whole thing.

Ten year avg. sports have access to 18,488 harvestable salmon X2 ½ =46,220 for sports a considerable amount more fish to catch considering the future success of commercial selective live capture. We also have to consider that some years the maximum fish available to harvest wasn’t achieved due to fishery closures because of high incidental impact being hit to early.
