Research indicates that purse seiners (back in the 1980s) caught 80%-90% of the vulnerable migrating salmon present in Johnstone Strait during what were commonly 48- or 72-hour fishing openings. In British Columbia, Canada, salmon purse seiners line up at fishing access points, forming well defined queues. These queues were measured over time in Johnstone Strait using a one-dimensional recording scale. Sixty-one overflights of the fishing area were attempted; 51 flights were completed.

Max, what is your point.. the stats are from the 1980's. Good - Bad or what? Are you incensed about something is there something wrong with commercial fishing?.. Is the resource being hurt? Your post and several E-mails I have gotten do not say what the point is? If you want a response make a point do not post and send statistics that tell me nothing!!!. Also if any guide is getting SPAM from this person please notify me and I will delete his post and file a Copywrite violation against him. E-mail for the purpose of self promotion from my site is not allowed if it is not OK'd by me. E-mail to guides for the purpose of booking a trip is OK, and legal. My guide list is copywrited as are all listings on the site. I do not release any listing unless it is from a business that pays for the list and that money goes to promote the guides on this site.. I am very picky as to who I allow to have my guide list. Only companies that can help the guides first and or FGHP.com second will be considered. Jim Dicken Owner FGHP.com http://www.1fghp.com |

Max, who are you and what is YOUR POINT. I have no problem with posts that provide information on overfishing etc.. but your post provides NO INFORMATION at all and if it is only to get a link then ask me I do link exchanges but do not waste the time of my viewers to post inane statistics that you do not analyze and which mean nothing.

My Web page contains a summary of my past research and publications (and an e-mail from the National Library of Canada tells the readers how to borrow copies via interlibrary loan). Many of my analyses are published: I'm not going to just copy them onto the Internet when anyone can obtain them at or through a good english-speaking science library. My links page contains all kinds of information ... Add interesting links to my page, if you will.

Ok, now I understand and appreciate what you are doing.. You might want to point out what the research is about and how it affects folks now. Since all the stuff you posted above is about the 1980's, it would help if you could tell us how it affects us now. I do appreciate your input. Jim Dicken |

At some time in the near future (during my spare time), I will further describe the relevance of my past research to the fishery today. For the present, the communciations posted on my Web page and the various information accessible from my links page will have to suffice. A few biologists predict that, if and when the salmon stocks of the Northwest recover to acceptable abundance levels, the fisheries managers will once again allow increased fishing pressure, and since purse seiners are cost effective (energy efficient), I imagine that they might once again become the "jewel" in the industry's crown. But with El Nino and global warming, who knows.... |
