Total escapement

Early 1950s saw diversity systems and salmonids; later only pinks flourish

 

 

 

There is something wrong here

 

Comparing escapement to actual catch

And especially value of catch

Seems to imply pinks were fished officially

 

but sockeye & coho provided the $$$

 

Graph left from 1950

 

 

Sockeye targeted??

How could sockeye be fished in this system???

 

Or Coho??

 

 

 

How can one justify this fishery when coho, chum and sockeye stocks are so depressed
