I wonder how much of a change it would make if we quit harvesting Puget Sound herring commercially and left them in the Sound for salmon and other critters?

Does SE Alaska need our frozen herring at its lodges? In the area I worked, there was no commercial herring fishery, but you could jig them for use fresh. It astounded me in my first year when I went to the huge walk-in cooler and found case after case of herring from Puget Sound.
