Yes, and Salmon is an extremely closely managed fishery that the spawning brood is closely watched. So while you think they're hammering the fish to death, they do fine, and they're also netting along side subsistence fishermen. Most of them can't drive to stop & shop around the corner for most of their food.

Benefiting few as opposed to hook and line fishermen who could work for longer periods of time earning a living and essentially spreading the wealth around for lack of a better term.
Uh sure, hook and line is the "only" fishery that "spreads the wealth".
Right.
The comm boats magically catch, process, freeze, and deliver fish to your freezer.
