Atlantics

Poaching = destructive harvesting with little respect of the resource !   One wonders how much habitat loss in the late 1880s played in the demise of the Atlantic salmon when we heard of the pointless slaughter of the fish !
Biology 101 : biology has natural ups and downs of all species  ; if the species suffers an added attack  eg. Poaching it may disappear !
Other examples : the turkey was wiped out in Ontario not in NYS !  
           Walleye : over harvested and poached !
     The deer population is down in the Niagara peninsula Ont. How can we prove it ie not due to poaching .

Not sure why one would eat old spawning fish who may be in a process of natural decomposition ; the problem may have been in the preparation  ( bears are omnivores will eat almost anything !)
