As Doc noted, it does require actually fishing and killing fish to implement.

I took the 2010-2014 five-year average of the June, July and August Coho harvest and divided it by the 2015 average for the same months and came up with this year’s harvest of Coho was down app. 96% over the five year average.

Why wouldn't that translate into the terminal areas?

One would have to be blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other to recognize that the Coho had an extremely poor showing this year in the ocean areas at an early time frame.
