Perhaps....

Actually it was more like 8 somebody's united in solidarity, rejecting a highly speculative 14.7% release mortality on fall chinook released from tangle net gear.

The new and improved NT gillnet schedule is based on a release mortality that's 70% greater than originally proposal!

Essentially the same number of dead paper kings, but now with much more limited ability to fuel as many days of gillnetting with chinook impacts accruing 70% faster.

This fight may not be over. The NT GN advisor vowed to strike back with whatever legal means are available.
