This is only for chinook salmon, which at least in BC has had relatively strict harvest restrictions historically.
The good/bad news: It's accepted that doing this sort of fisheries management is an effective strategy to replenish wild stocks, but does come with a serious set of tradeoffs in remote communities where the fishing industry is a large part of the economy.
This does tie back into farming being a more sustainable option -- unfortunately with the state of that industry it doesn't end up becoming a binary between the two;
Salmon farming practices tend to have adversely negative impacts on the wild fish population (disease spread, escape and genetic degradation of stock) due to how and where the farms are placed.

We’re building Found so self-employed people have the support, structure, and confidence to work for themselves. Our founding team has hands-on experience with taxes and accounting, financial services and FinTech, self-employment, and scaling startups. Our team is dedicated to taking care of business banking, expense tracking, and tax saving so self-employed people have more time to do what they do best.
In 2019, we started by identifying a real problem that we could solve—not a technology in search of a problem—and began building our v1 product. We launched in March 2020, and spent the rest of the year building out and validating a solid technical and operational foundation. We recently raised our Series A from Sequoia Capital, and today we are expanding and scaling a product experience that thousands of Found customers use to run their businesses.
Similar article which made the same case. This one provided a few more interesting stories about just how close we have come to potentially similar leaks in the past (and based in US labs).
I'm a programmer by trade, so my knowledge of mathematics as a whole is limited by what I happened to learn doing my undergrad in CS, so a lot of the mathematic-specific examples in this post were lost on me.
What I found particularly insightful here is applying this mathematical notation to programming languages and their syntaxes. His notation described as
```
Notation:{well-formed expressions}→{abstract objects in 𝑋}
```
isn't too far off from what most programming languages implement at some level.
As a result of this, what properties do programming languages share with mathematical notations, and why are some languages deemed more "expressive" than others? How much does the "expressiveness" of a certain language in a domain lead to better understanding of the abstractions beneath them?
To answer your question; I don't think this post explicitly increased my understanding of notations (especially not in the context of mathematics), but rather led me to ponder the importance of them in communicating & extending abstract concepts effectively across domains.
