The ocean salmon fishing season is set to be prohibited this year off the coast of California and much of Oregon. This would only be the second time in 15 years that this could happen.
“There will be no wild-caught California salmon to eat unless someone has still got some vacuum-sealed last year in their freezer,” said John McManus of the Golden State Salmon Association.This does not include Washington, where fishing will go ahead, according to the Washington Trollers Association. Both the WTA president and its executive director said salmon stocks in Washington are healthy enough for the season to go forward.
The Pacific Fishery Management Council, the authority responsible for setting ocean salmon seasons off the Pacific coast, is expected to meet in early April and could formally approve the closure of Chinook salmon fishing along the coast from Cape Falcon in northern Oregon to the California-Mexico border.
University of Washington studies Aquatic and Fishery Sciences Professor Christopher Anderson looks at markets for salmon and said the ban could have a huge impact on the fish market. The WTA said that most commercial fishing operations cannot come to Washington to fish. The organization’s president said that some very long-tenured fishing operations have permits to fish in all three states on the West Coast, but that’s not very common.
