Pacific salmon die after spawning, they only return from the ocean once. Left unharvested, salmon will over spawn creating boom and bust year cycles. Harvest numbers are actively managed to spawn optimum future yields, year in year out. Fish are allocated to all user groups

That may be true but they caught them to the point where they closed the Salmon altogether and I know that some people were catching them for food and not to feed their 40 dogs. I know the Hailstones were netting for food not to feed dogs

The salmon return in a short time frame and return numbers are unknown until the run is underway. On going openings and closures of the harvest is how a run is typically managed. Feeding dogs is a traditional use, as dogs are used for transportation in the winter.

You do know what is wrong with that whole scenario right?

Ok
I'm a very depressed fish with strong suicidal tendencies.
Life is boring, water too humid and instead of my dreamed caribbean seas I have to live in a glacial lake that freezes my eggs.
I'm ending it all
if I could only get into that cone coffin....
