Abstract

The ‘Coho Crisis’ of 1998 permanently transformed the commercial salmon fishery of British Columbia, Canada. Low returns of coho salmon precipitated drastic reductions in opportunity, and major changes to fishing practice and fishery structure. The crisis constituted one of the first critical conflicts over biodiversity and by-catch in the British Columbia fisheries, and the resulting conservation measures continue to have practical, political, and ideological impacts on the salmon fishery.
