And to top it all off the methods typically used by the commercial fisherman destroy the ocean floor and critical structure the fish use to hide and find food. Then the problem migrates to other pelagic species like Salmon that have to fight the gauntlet of predators in the river after they hatch and head to the ocean then when they get there there isn't much food. If the Salmon make it passed all of the ocean fishing pressure they have to head back up the river past the fishermen to waters unsuitable for spawning. Just another tale of woe. :fire:

I've seen pictures of huge fish pulled up on the beach at Avalon Catalina, where they were just left to die, no one ate them. Wonder where they all went.

The wild pigs of Catalina ate them.
