That’s a good point but that doesn’t explain the drop in size. I heard a lot of the Bristol Bay sockeye were so small they swam right through the net
The predictions were that Global warming and climate change would benefit sockeye (increased temps = increased plankton and euphausiid production) Those predictions didn’t include the dramatically skewed sizing of 3 pound fish…..
Look at what they been using now, Insane fishing in next to no water depth, fish can't passFYI, I said Years ago it was silly for Alaska to be increasing their fishing fleet and the amount of licenses issued with each record salmon year they were having as it was gonna create issues when stocks fluctuate back. it was only a few years ago they were increasing the fleet by 500 plus gillnet licenses a year and then bad year comes and they declare that they need disaster relief.

Don’t thing the Tyee pool gang would agreeLocal Dfo rep at sfac meeting said that exact words were best jn 30
Years last year
Typically for sockeye the % of 4YOs is ~75% for most stocks most years. Sometimes the % of 3YO jacks can be substantial - often nearing 20% of the run - often in the early part - but can also be seen in the latter part of the run if the gillnet fleet is out front. TACs are a a piece count, getting paid is by $/lb. There is a financial incentive to catch the larger fish and let the jacks go through larger mesh size nets.many of these fish are from the 2020 brood and that was " the 2020 commercial salmon harvest of 116.8 million fish is the thirteenth lowest on record"

So went from mocking the comment about it just be from Facebook to once it’s from a reliable source (hate dfo but most reliable yoh het) you then try to disprove via a 300ft by 300ft area? Hahaha. Ok. The comment was made in general. Still some rivers of concern. Always will be. But overall best in 30 yearsDon’t thing the Tyee pool gang would agree
Mocking? Ok then. So your feelings got hurt cuz I hadn’t heard that line beforeSo went from mocking the comment about it just be from Facebook to once it’s from a reliable source (hate dfo but most reliable yoh het) you then try to disprove via a 300ft by 300ft area?
