Orri I agree with your logic if the netting exploitation has decreased by 70% and all the high seas drift net fisheries have been phased out why is the salmon stocks decreasing? Surely it is the fact that if the stock assessment is calculated by catch statistics if they're not caught they're not counted.So if they're not counted theres thousands more fish not accounted for.It certainly points to a deliberate deception by scientists especially as many netsmen have seen their livelihoods ended without compensation on the scientific evidence.If this is the case where did they get their base figure? A wild guess?catch statistics? or just pie in the sky statistics?
