Chemical and environmental engineer Peter Krahn is developing a selective commercial-fishing system (above) for sustainably harvesting salmon and steelhead, intended to replace destructive gill nets. His technology would also support scientific data collection, the removal of invasive fish species and the release of wild fish.
In this episode of Blue Fish Radio, producer/host Lawrence Gunther talks to Krahn, along with Dave Brown from the Public Fishery Alliance, about the issues surrounding commercial river fishing in B.C., and the implications of this new technology.
