The proportion of impact levels is based on historical data. The predicted data set used.

Allowable impacts offshore need to be reduced to 25%.


Staff once told me if ocean harvest of stocks exceeds 30% slowly but surely one stream after another will slowly but certainly crash. That was 20 years ago and the answer is yup.

Expected escapement include prespawn mortality?


Escapement is the number of fish that successfully spawn not the number swimming up the river. The thing to remember escapement is terminally managed AFTER ocean harvest seldom before.

But I would have to disagree somewhat with Doc on "We getting' low holed boys" because we is catching a lot of those fish. We have met the enemy and he is us.


No argument on this or Doc's thoughts as both are right. You will not believe how many of Alaska's commercials are WA citizens who fish there particularly the Panhandle & Bristol. Many if not most of the processors are based out of Puget Sound also.
