Salmon trailer pleased, industry shrinkage, survival ordeal

摘要

Non-retiring trailer: I ran into veteran salmon trailer Keith Phillips in Port Hardy in May. He was delivering a load of fresh Chinook salmon at the Cove Fisheries fish plant. "It's been going good for me," Phillips said, after returning from a four-day fishing trip off the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. "I'm happy with the season." Working with his son as deckhand, Phillips delivered 268 iced fresh Chinook salmon. The fishery management strategy for the West Coast Vancouver Island troll fleetfrom April 19 to June 15 fishing includes monthly "boat-days" and a target catch of 80,000 Chinook.
