Yardarm Knot cannery paid out at $.96/lb base price for Bristol Bay reds, reflective of a couple of market forces stemming from 7-8% lower harvest in the Bay and probably some South American farmed salmon collapse effects.
Also, as per a conversation with the skipper of F/V Timber Country, Ocean Beauty tagged 20 of his fish per delivery and tracked them through the cannery. He does NOT have refrigeration nor slush ice on board; he's a dry boat.
The quantity of number 1-graded fish off the Timber Country? 72%.
Yet another heavily-weighted argument against the investment of RSW systems in gillnetters. The business model for such an investment simply doesn't exist yet, and data collected like these also are contrary to the argument for RSW.
