Probably for more than a month. I caught two of this Keta salmon with a fishing rod once. They were of a similar size and each had over 5 kg, after taking the guts out. One of them was enough to prepare dinner for three persons twice: so six meals each. He caught 10 during this clip. That equals close to 50 kg of good meat. That would be more than 1,5 kg a day for a single person for a month.

Actually, because of the mixed stocks in the Columbia River, fish wheels would be a far better tool for commercial harvest than the gil nets used today. Fish can be dropped into a holding pen and sorted without doing much harm, rather than dragging them from the water by their gils after they’ve been struggling in a net for the better part of an hour.

@ShaggyRogers1

2 жыл бұрын

This is much better for the environment compared to basically any other modern commercial fishing methods. You can sort a living and mostly undamaged fish with this method and actually choose what you are harvesting vs "byproduct" killing. The nets used by modern commercial fisherman serrate the tails and fins of fish every time they get removed from the water. Don't blame the method for the results of idiots overfishing. You can overfish using a thousand methods, at least this one does little damage to the fish if you actually chose to sort + release.

There is another ladder operating on the Copper River too. Has been a great producer too.

Those fishwheels were heavily used in Alaska in the early 20th century, primarily to catch salmon to be dried and later fed to SLED DOGS. Thats right, those northern pooches were eating on a daily basis fishes that today is considered the creme de la creme of cuisine!

You really could watch that thing for hours.
