I don’t think removing fish farms is going to help upper Fraser chinook stocks. The restrictions were in place to pass Thoes stocks to the Fraser.
The later part of the restrictions were put into place so natives could harvest more chinook on the Fraser and according to their own reporting this year they was one of their best years for harvesting chinook in the lower Fraser.
Correct me if I am wrong.
The Chinook closure was effective April 1.
"Apr. 1 to Jul. 14, chinook non-retention"
The Fraser River slide was later. "The slide was first discovered near Big Bar in late June,"
The Chinook Closure this year had nothing to do with the Fraser River slide!
I am of the opinion the Fish Farm Wild Salmon kill is bigger then just the Fraser.
