You better do a little better home work next time you want to take up a subject. If you have any questions I will try to answer them for you. Also in your previous post: where can you buy fresh west coast Chinook or Silver salmon for $4.99 a pound. That my friend is impossible. That died red Atlantic salmon is going for $6 to $10 a lb. in the stores I saw it in and there was NO local salmon at all to be found.
That $4.99 a pound caught my eye too. I was about to ask for directions.
The offshore Russian fishing fleet really clobbered our fish stock, but that ended years ago. I was very incensed to have russian trawlers cleaning out our salmon and harrasing the tanker I was navigating. 1970's
Two or three weeks ago, our local Safeway stores (Portland) were selling what they called "wild coho" for $4.99/lb., which I noticed because the prices have been generally higher all summer. I presume it came off the West Coast . . . are there coho down in Chile? That would be the only other source I could think of.
And I don't "think that the 'Indians' are THE problem". They plainly overfished fall chinook for a while; now the harvests are reduced. The Klamath salmon runs were on the rise for many years, and are down the last couple. Suction dredge mining on the river probably helps them by increasing available spawning and other habitat. The people who drive the boats think they are herding the salmon into the nets, and I presume they do it because it works. Maybe not. I have seen videos of it.
The real problem is that "the Indians", loosely speaking, have been exploited by a bunch of lying environmentalists and corrupt Tribal leaders who have set them at odds with the Klamath farmers who, as a practical matter, have absolutely zero effect on the lives of the Indians. More people ought to listen to Russell Means as to the real nature of the enemy:
