Wouldn't pens limit ESA concerns? Also, while the extra fishing pressure could result in more encounters, I think it could be easily argued that the increases in releases could reduce the predation rate on ESA limited fish, while benefitting the ESA listed Orca's. Further, by limiting fishing in areas most likely to encounter the listed fish, the benefit would go up. Seems like a win-win situation.
