There have been too many MILLIONS of PWS hatchery pinks left to die, stray, rot or inundate wild streams late into the fall to even contemplate approving an increase. The only way PWS can handle current production is if Kodiak and S.E. are average or below average. If those returns are big, the PWS processors tend to "run out of tin" by mid-August, or whenever they have their desired case pack. Last year was a fluke that worked in PWS's favor. The next time, the waste could foul the air from Valdez to Anchorage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-65053031116365962932011-04-19T11:52:18.473-08:002011-04-19T11:52:18.473-08:00And PWSAC's "theoretical speculation"...And PWSAC's "theoretical speculation" on the pink market???<br /><br />The genetic study... besides the market is hungry...let flood it in the future...$.05 is a fovorite magic number.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-81945187859813424342011-04-19T11:09:37.479-08:002011-04-19T11:09:37.479-08:00Yo, Mr. Anonymous #3 (@10:33 am):

Please do not send more fish out to compete with the wild stocks!<br /><br />Haven't we all heard about the abundance of dead pinks on the beaches of PWS? Haven't we heard about Valdez grinding up the pinks that there isn't a market for by the time the season is ending? From what I know about supply and demand, the more there is of a product, the less we get per pound of that product. I do not see this as a way of increasing the value of any of our fish. But processors have more lobbyists than fishermen do and they are mobilized to get the ear of lawmakers. More hatcheries is NOT a good idea and will not result in a more sustainable fishery. MSC will watch this move and Alaska's MSC labeling will be at stake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-3549443450742517762011-04-19T09:35:35.114-08:002011-04-19T09:35:35.114-08:00We all know by now that an ocean has a finite carr...We all know by now that an ocean has a finite carrying capacity. These pinks feed on the same ocean pasture as Southeast, Kodiak, and Penninsula Pinks; these fish may in essence be stealing food resources destined for other stocks. The only way for these other regions to combat this will , of course, be to build more hatcheries of their own, pumping more and more fish into an ever dwindling food supply, anyone else see a problem here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
