what does hang ratio refer to as it says in the fishery report? "hang ratio 3:1"?

Hanging ratio is determined by the length and height of the net, which determine the type and size of the holes.

I thought that conservation concerns trumped even native fisheries.

Native communal openings are granted unless a fish stock is really low.  At this time chum numbers are high enough that communal opening requests from native bands have to be granted.
