I have no idea how those decisions are being made, but once upon a time, abundance meant opportunity and access. Abundance no longer means that. We'll see huge runs of fish, yet we will not be able to access them.
Part of this is that some of the information needed comes from test fishing; we can monitor test fishing and see the numbers that are coming back. In the past, we could usually use that as a fairly good gauge as to whether or not the fishery was going to open, but now we can't. It's very unpredictable. Sometimes the numbers are good but we don't get an opening, and sometimes the numbers are not so good.
You mentioned the 2025 sockeye fishery. I know you discussed that a lot in the last panel. For reference, the area H trollers—the hook-and-line fishery—did not get any openings for the 2025 season despite that historical run.
