How can you claim "endangered" when you're talking about a species that is near an all-time high in terms of biomass? There are tons of Chinook. The problem is many of them are small hatchery fish.
How many hatchery kings are released on the Pacific Rim? How many of these kings compete with wild kings? Every single one. Lodges trolling in Kodiak are catching limits every day.
The commercial fishery has been going for 150 years — it's not the problem.
Nobody would call any other widespread species endangered if its numbers in the wild were historically high.
Leave comfish alone. Wild salmon is one of the most well-managed, sensible, extremely healthy, low carbon footprint protein sources in the world. Leave one of the true food production success stories in the world alone!
Delete, ban user, too rational.
