When I posed this issue on the AK board, the response was overwhelmingly 'tough tiddies'.

Take out your dams and fix your habitat, and then we can talk. In the meantime, fence "your" fish in so they don't wander into "our" waters if you don't want us to catch them. If anything we should be imposing a surcharge for "your" fish grazing on "our" herring and candlefish. They feed and grow on AK's ocean bounty, doesn't that make them AK salmon?

Yes, the AK mindset is a bit different than ours.
