That is a pretty damning pie chart especially if it reflects where the impacts on ESA listed Chinook to include Stilly fish is occuring. And it puts the focus on the ongoing Salmon Treaty negotiations to find a way to reduce that impact!

A few years ago there was a belief (rumor) that Fisheries and Oceans was doing test fisheries/analysis to allow its fishermen to better target U.S. (read that Puget Sound/CR) origin Chinook.

So, do southern U.S. bound Chinook tend to travel the salmon highway further off the Canadian coast than Canadian bound Chinook? Notice I used the phrase "tend to travel" recognizing that there will always be some mixing.
