Interesting article on the krill fishery. I have been concerned by the overfishing of our herring/anchovie/sardine/squid stocks for a long time. It was apparent 15 years ago with the disappearance of the schools of bait fish that use to populate the Straits of Juan De Fuca. The mismanagement by our fisheries managers doesn't stop with the salmon and may have actually started with the overfishing of their lower food chains. With the increase in krill fishing I would then reason the sockeye runs of the Thompson system will take a dramatic fall. Some big assumptions in my statements, but they sure seem to fit.
