I think its interesting how ONE solution requires one type of allocation method, but another solution is allowed to revert to a different set of rules.

Safe area gillnets
Selective live capture LCR
Selective live capture in Safe areas
No LCR commercial harvest
Bonneville fish ladder

I also find it interesting that with all the increases in Safe area net pen production and a future Colville hatchery, none of those extra fish is going to make a difference in the allocation of "the usual legal guidance" or "respective political influence".
