| Notes | "The recent pattern in Pacific salmon fisheries is one of overcapitalized vessels, facing escalating energy and labor costs, in pursuit of limited (in some cases decimated) stocks. In many areas of the Pacific Northwest, the fisheries depend heavily upon exploiting artificially propagated stocks. Since revenues from the fisheries do not offset the costs of hatchery programs, the propagative programs of state and federal agencies are a subsidy without which the fisheries could not exist. The fisheries are also dependent on market prices which place ocean-caught salmon in the luxury food class. The problems confronting the fisheries have resulted in increasing interest in salmon aquaculture as an alternative approach to salmon production" (from the Abstract). Pages 4 and 10 are blank pages in this document. |
