Fish Food

Dear Editor: Kings are in trouble. They’re starving. Most fisher groups are asked to help. Commercial, sport, charter and subsistence fishers accept greatly reduced harvest levels to protect the resource.

But for one group of mostly Lower 48 boats, it’s ‘‘business as usual.’’ Sitka sac roe herring permit holders still continue to get the same allocation for 20 percent of our herring biomass. That’s salmon and other game fish’s food.
