I recognize that there are a lot of legitimate FN fisheries taking place, however, the article references information provided by DFO, which presumably was based on non-legit fisheries, be it FN or not.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada says it has removed more than 200 illegally set fishing nets and other gear from the Fraser River to date, and are calling on the public not to buy salmon that is illegally caught.

Very sad indeed.

if I recall correctly the number of seizures last year at about this point exceeded 400.

seizure of illegal nets is also evidence DFO  is pursuing it's regulatory responsibilities re: FN Fisheries quite rigorously.
