This doesn't meet the standard that says in the foreseeable future these fish will become endangered. We proposed a year and a half ago to list them as threatened. But we have been convinced, in large part because of the hatchery and harvest reforms that were undertaken very aggressively, that a listing is not warranted. -Brian Gorman

We did an independent analysis of Oregon's numbers, and we came to the conclusion that their science was pretty tight, and accurate. Our own biological assessment says these fish have a lot of pluck. They're very resilient. They're subject to considerable fluctuations, depending on ocean conditions, but they seem to bounce back if they're given the opportunity.
