This is an issue every year up here on the Yukon River. Native and rural subsistance should always come before commercial fishing, PERIOD.

these people's livelihood will die out entirely if they're not careful... I'm sure it sucks in the meantime, but it really is necessary. and it's not like they won't charge astronomical prices for all kinds of wild salmon now, to make up for it. I do believe the commercial fisherman will make their money back and then some, especially since now farmed salmon turns out to have so many contaminants/hormones/bad fats. They'll just dangle the yummy wild stuff in front of our noses and charge $25 a pound instead of $18.
