Harvesting is being controlled!
DFO tells us that harvesting is controlled, which ensures that there are adequate spawners reaching the spawning grounds.
Unfortunately when the fry swim past the feedlots they are picking up sea lice and who knows what sorts of diseases. This aspect of salmon survival is not being adequately controlled and is likely resulting in lower ocean survival rates.
So now you believe DFO .... LOL! another attempt at sarcasm maybe?
af, the only adequate number of spawners reaching Fraser tributary spawning grounds now are a few pink stocks, sometimes, perhaps one chinook stock, and in 2010, Shuswap sockeye. That's it. To put more fish on the grounds means fewer fish be killed by commercial, sports and FN fishers. And, as we both know the commies are pretty much out of the picture because there are not enough to harvest ....
Your final sentence shows how entrenched and misinformed you really are in this issue.
