Steady on for pollock

This summer's Bering Sea bottom trawl survey showed a "slight decrease" in the pollock biomass compared to 2010, the National Marine Fisheries Service reports. Details here.

This doesn't mean jack squat before the stock assesment comes out in the November Plan Team meeting. You should know better than to publish speculative junk like this, Deckboss.

All DB stated was that NMFS Bering Sea trawl survey was "slightly lower" this year than for 2010. No conclusions were drawn. Are you saying NMFS surveys are speculative junk? I bet not when they show an increase.

Less pollock to catch in the future could possibly mean that perhaps the King Salmon and Chum Salmon will survive the billion dollar destructive industry.

But of course survival of a billion dollar blunder, can only come from a Chum Salmon swimming to King Salmon where survival of the fittest, has never been required.

We need another tax, where it's everyone fault but the local idiots on parade!

Chums for Chumps, shown with any 1st Class Ticket to Nowhere, King Salmon.

SE figured it out long ago. Kick the few trawlers out and opportunities increase for all.

Yeah


SE figured it out

Only problem is that leaves us with one less gear group to blame when the 2C halibut stocks are in the crapper

sure was destructive trawling practices that hurt the 2C halibut
