By ensuring that vessels are kept out of the salmon zone, high catches of squid can be maintained, while minimising the salmon by-catch.
We included all largemouth bass, despite high catches of young-of-year bass, based on prey fish in diets of largemouth bass as small as 37 mm TL and on findings by Olive et al. [ 27] that piscivory by high densities of small-bodied largemouth bass can structure fish communities.
