Pacific Salmon Treaty failing to address Alaskan harvest of struggling B.C. stocks, advocates say | CBC News

Salmon returning to B.C. to spawn are being caught in Alaskan waters by the hundreds of thousands.

doanerkhm Greed... once the population is decimated they'll bitch and whine about 'how could this have happened'. People, our fish populations are finite. FCL.

Whaaat

Considering the US does 100 times more stocking than we do I'm not sure we get to complain too much. Canadian boats have been catching salmon from American hatcheries for decades. The US contributed nearly 2b fish last year vs 2m from Canada

So alaskan fishers are catching fish in alaskan waters. Perhaps updating the treaty would help?
