Salmo g.:

Thanks for the informative post. Can you, or anyone for that matter, explain the role "foregone opportunity" plays in allotment of catch quotas? Does it apply to wild steelhead? Does in apply in rivers? For instance, if recreational anglers, in the estimation of WDFW, do not catch (retain?), their allotment of fish, wild or otherwise, in a river system, do other consumers, tribal or non-tribal, have the right to take those fish? It seems I read something to this effect some time ago, but I don't know if I'm even speaking English here. Anyway, is there anything to this imagined concept of "foregone opportunity"?
