You kind of lost me after the "Supposedly they are using them in Canadian waters....". Its a pretty big leap from a maybe to aclaiming that a group of unclipped fish at Neah Bay are the by product of a new theoretical device called a tangle net.
I keep reading in most threads that if a fish has an adipose fin its a native this is simply Wrong it could be a native and then again it could be from a native hatchery or it could be one in a signifigant number that failed to get clipped when it was supposed to at a state facility.
As to the rest of the post re. the test fishery and being pushed out by increasing catches by the commercials you have an interesting point there.
I actually when I first saw the news item and the video footage on TV thought more along the lines of a publicity gimmick designed to show "that we are working to solve this problem" if its more that that I'll be watching for you to lead the charge and rally the troops.
