What is the allowable bycatch of killer whales for trawlers?
The courts tried to shut down mom-and-pop hand trollers who might intercept king salmon that might be eaten by a killer whale 1,000 miles away in Washington.
No double standard here.
The average consumer doesn't know the difference between trawl and troll.
Killing orcas is very bad for Alaska's seafood reputation, and they shouldn't just sweep it under the rug.
