Here is some food for thought. This year there is talk of closing the entire west coast fishery from BC to California. Then there is this little interesting tid bit.
Alaska predicts salmon harvest of 137 million fish.
The 2008 commercial salmon harvest at 137 million fish is putting it in the upper half of harvests since 1960. Total harvest is expected at 47.1 million sockeye. 4.4 million coho. 66 million pink salmon 18.7 chum salmon and 672 000 chinook salmon, this is a increase of 110 000 fish over the 2007 season.
Makes you wonder doesn't it. Here the whole coast is almost completely out of salmon and Alaska is increasing their cath for 2008. I would love to do DNA testing on these fish and see where they originate from.
