If you removed hatcheries, after saltwater fishermen had their take there would be nothing left.
South Thompson chinook, maybe sockeye, maybe pinks that’s all I can think of
Our chum fishery is completely enhanced, Wild Harrison chinook stock would be over exploited in the ocean with the loss of the cap and Chilliwack production.
Between the cap and Chilliwack hatcherys this year 42 thousand clipped coho went to First Nations in ESSR.
I can’t see our wild coho populations doing that, so after First Nations were allocated wild to replace that their would not be any left for sports fishermen
