80 tons of salmon seized from Chinese fishing vessel - KTVA 11 - The Voice of Alaska

Quote:
The USCG says the captain of the vessel admitted to fishing with driftnets, and investigators on the joint boarding team discovered one ton of squid and 80 tons of chum salmon on board. A driftnet measuring approximately 5.6 miles was also found on board the vessel, according to the USCG.
It's just chum salmon that would have been sold to the Chinese anyway, but our kings are no doubt experiencing the same fate.

Agree with both of you that such behavior by the Chinese is Disgraceful.

I was thinking the same thing. I think it's people's belief that food comes from the supermarket that's the behind their apathy.

This is three years old, but it gives an idea of what driftnetting is and what they're trying to do about it:
