The focus of the pen-rearing project is to have the young salmon get imprinted to the Dead River so they will return to spawn, and to protect the fingerlings from predators. SSFA built and maintains four rearing pens that are now home to 120,000 chinook fingerlings, many of which will hopefully one day end up in the fish box of a big lake angler. Anybody who has watched the huge flocks of gulls that follow hatchery trucks to release sites realize the benefits of protecting the small fish...

That meant lugging 24 heavy golf cart batteries onto a skiff to get them ashore for recharging, then lugging them back onto the reef-net boats kept anchored in Legoe Bay during the fishing season.

During the 2006 fishing year, which ended last night at midnight, fishermen were allowed to land 10,000 pounds of yellowtail per trip in Georges Bank fishing grounds known as the U. Scientists later concluded that modeling errors led to an overestimation of the size of the yellowtail stock and an underestimation of the rate at which yellowtail die from fishing. Some fishing industry representatives believe that yellowtail may swim from one area to another and should therefore be managed as...

No, it's leading to cheating on catches and to discards of good fish. Yes, if concentration of fishing rights in fewer hands is accepted as a social price.
