Aquaculture Organization Harvesting Salmon
What’s the problem with this video? Cook Inlet Aquaculture is supposed to support commercial fishing-period. They don’t. In fact, for over ten years they have actively competed against both commercial and sport fisheries, attempting to shut both down in Resurrection Bay.
In this video they are harvesting salmon directly from the creek, where they are trapped below the weir, then sold to a processor. No benefit to commercial fisherman at all.
