Previous 46 years 209,132 Fraser sockeye missing; last 12 years 9,074,278.Why?
« on: July 19, 2006, 08:59:07 AM »
Who read the Vancouver Sun July 18th, page A11?

According to the Pacific Salmon Commission, between 1946 to 1992 (46 years) 209,132 Fraser sockeye went missing.  Between 1992 to 2004 (12 years), 9,074,278 went missing.

WHAT HAPPENED IN 1992?????  I will tell you tomorrow.

Rod's website (a BBS then) was launched and the masses discovered how to bottom bounce for salmon.

20 years ago when we drive by Indian reserves. There's no sign showing sockeye $2 /lb 10 years ago. You start to see them poping up hear and there "cheap sockeye" etc.
5 years ago, when crabbing on piers (Sunshine Cost) you would actually get FN approaching everyone there on the pier asking if anyone need fish!!!

In 1992 my 1st daughter was born and she loves salmon. I'll ask her if she knows what she did with them all.

According to the article, "1992 was the year that Ottawa allowed fish caught in the Indian food fishery to be sold for the first time in more than a century".  It frustrates me how officials can make up false reasons such as, the counting methods are not accurate or the water temperature was high (there must have been warm temperatures in 46 years).

maybe the counting methods were not so good back then?  Maybe fish went missing every year but no one paid any close attention until runs like the early stuart really started to go on the decline?
