Here's kind of an offshoot topic, but what about a move to cut off the need for commercial chum fishing.... aka... distribution of salmon roe to foreign food markets.

I've always thought that if someone made a push to change the laws regarding egg sales, we might be able to indirectly solve a few problems. From what I gather, the vast majority of chum fisheries are specifically aimed at selling the roe overseas. $16/lb MINIMUM for egg roe these days when sold as caviar.

If you cut or limit the demand, I can't really see a great reason for a commercial chum harvest. People can only eat so much smoked keta in the stores.
