    Re: Question on salmon at sea vs in the rive

    At least we know where a salmon in a river is going. A fish out in the ocean could be from a huge run, or it might be the one of the last of some endangered run.

    River fishing should be done selectively through use of weirs and traps, as it was done traditionally by the natives, not buy gill nets.

    The non-selective Fraser river net fishery has been detrimental to all stocks, especially the smaller runs that can’t sustain too much pressure. Many small streams that were fish producers haven’t had any returns in years.

    DFO has done SFA for a long time. All this talk about how the various levels of government are going to fix the problem are just that - talk. They don't have a clue or the willpower to do what is necessary. Just more BS.

    Politicians will tell you whatever you want to hear,especially in an election year.The eastern cod record speaks for itself,they’ll ‘study’ it until the last fish is gone

    Shifting where, when, or who is harvesting salmon won’t change a thing. Sadly the user groups will bicker about how to increase/protect their privileges by taking from another user group and not focus on solving the big issues just like they have since the beginning*

    This is so true been saying it for years. Time to quit bickering and worrying about my share. Don't hold out much hope though.

    Everybody can bicker right down to the last salmon and then there will be nothing to bicker about ,thats the thing people need to see.How many stakeholders in the East coast cod fishery are bickering about their rights or share?

    I'm sure wild salmon in realty are a real nuisance to "big money". I have no doubt Ottawa's job would be much easier if all salmon were farmed, and habitat degradation wasn't an issue. Heck they could just dump the oil and the logs in the river and scoop them up in Vancouver or Prince Rupert.

    You are giving govt too much credit the answer is more likely arrogance, stupidity, and bureaucracy is what is actually why DFO is failing

    too many different people with different agendas have been in power in power in the long process involved in the destruction of salmon stocks to be running that long term game

    That farther you get away the less accountability you have . The only chance we have is to have local controll
