Respectfully disagree with Mr. Bradner.  This problem is of our own making - when we opted out of basic economics in 1990 passing a ban on fish farming.

Over 70% of all salmon sold worldwide are farmed fish, and that number is going up.  AK commfish is trying to carve out a chunk of the marketplace by creating boutique fisheries.  The problem is that the rest of the world wants fish 24x7 and AK commfish can't meet that need.

Solution?  Repeal the ban on fish farming.  Start trading commercial permits for discrete areas offshore for fish farms with the end goal of getting as many commfish nets out of the water as humanly possible.  Shut down the dumping of hatchery pinks as they appear to be out-competing other species (king, red and coho) for food.

Our future is sport fish, guided fishing, and personal use.  Commfish future is fish farming whether they like it or not.  Otherwise they will be (and are being) crushed by the economics of a global marketplace.  Cheers -
