Look at the recovery of Fraser sockeye. IPSFC was in business for 50 years and left the resource in much better shape than when they started. They approached recovery from an always fishing but always increasing escapement. It worked well, at least over that period.

Also, many states in the West have gone after restoring native trouts. They succeeded in getting the fish down listed from Endangered to Threatened so that they could have fishing on them. Has worked there, too.

I doubt that we will be successful with Pacific salmon because they affect too wide a swath of the world. Too many people, too many demands, and the fish require too much land and water. Resident trout need significantly less, so we'll do them.
