US halts commercial Salmon season

I didn't see this article get much mainstream attention, but the federal regulators of the United States have "cancelled this year's commercial and recreational catch of chinook -- the prized king salmon of the fish market -- off California and Oregon."

That's the first time this has happened in 150 years.

The reason? There are not any more fish out there to catch!

The government wants to re-seed the population and give the few existing fish a chance to recover this year.

That would be a good idea.

Get your salmon now. Without the West coast, Salmon is probably going to be very expensive soon, and might not be available again until sometime in 2009 if the population recovers this year.
