Just because they wont do their part, doesnt mean we cant do ours. If 50k go in the Bournedale run again, and spawn, then 4 years from now there will be spawning age adults from that same Bournedale run or whatever run you insert. By protecting the spawn, you protect the current stock with same commercial pressures. its basic math. The protection of spawns in all species can result in increasing the populations of these animals. The same problem is happening in reverse with eels. The adults go BACK to sea to spawn, yet we harvest them prior to that in freshwater before they can spawn. We harvest the herring before they make it to their freshwater to do the same. Notice a trend?
I disagree that you not taking your 600 or so will make an impact. Look what they did with just 2 mating pairs of ospreys in the Westport river system. Just 2 mating pairs and 12-15 years later over 500 mating pairs along the surrounding river and bay systems.
If we shut down the runs, we allow the healthy, strong, hoprny fish to get in the pond and have at it layin eggs and shootin milt. 600 here, 6000 there adds up, all about the math.....
