Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This wouldn't be a study on any fishery in the west coast if we didn't bring up the issue of predation, and particularly the impact of seals and sea lions on the smolts.
You were mentioning that we have to do everything we can to protect the next batch of smolts coming down the Fraser River.
I'll ask Dr. Di Cicco. Is it your observation that the seal and sea lion issue is one of the things that is causing the lack of survivability?
