VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 25, 2007) - Conservationists and Northwest B.C. residents are calling for an independent review of B.C.'s second largest salmon fishery after documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act revealed disturbing mismanagement by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The documents show that in 2006, under pressure from the fishermen's union, Prince Rupert's mayor and other politicians, DFO managers allowed severe over-fishing at the mouth of the Skeena River. Gillnet boats fished 29 days in 2006, over twice the 10-year average. This resulted in excessive by-catch of steelhead and weak salmon stocks and contributed to dangerously low returns to many Skeena tributaries. 'We think DFO's failure to responsibly manage this fishery is endangering the long-term health of Skeena wild salmon and the economy of the entire Skeena watershed,' said Vicky Husband with Watershed Watch Salmon Society. 'We are calling for an independent investigation to determine what happened in 2006 and ensure mismanagement isn't repeated this season.' The documents show DFO refused to take enforcement action after they learned fishermen were ignoring rules designed to avoid killing weak salmon and steelhead stocks. 'The real issue for me is that we said we would fish selectively to minimize harvest impacts
