i think its a mix of non U.S. and U.S. comercial fishing and river herring mixing with sea herring and also alot of poaching at night at the herring runs. my grandfather tells me how the russian trawlers would come in and it seemed like they would scoop up everything in the god damn ocean,my grampa hates those bastards and people that hurt the ecosystem.my grandfather would watch the herrings runs like a hawk back in the day and report them or take matters into his own hands
