Link doesn't work for me.

Should work now. How many sturgeon are needlessly killed in this test fishery?
I really wish they would do netting netting between around Wellington bar and above. The catch rates between what the Albion actually gets compared to upriver netting does not show what is truly around.

That does seem like a lot of sturgeon. I spent a lot of time on that boat and never saw those numbers.

Historical going back years they typically only get a few, Not sure if the current large numbers are a reflection of the Sturgeon population or the current fraser river water level.

There is the REPORTED catch upriver by FN. These numbers are nowhere near accurate to what is truly being caught.
But a great referrance to how the Albion is not the best indication for what is truly in the river
