CNN.com - Bar codes latest catch in salmon fishing - Aug 14, 2006:
GOLD BEACH, Oregon (AP) -- The last time Scott Boley came home from salmon fishing, he had 17 fish to show for three days of work.

'That's pretty skimpy fishing,' said Boley, the skipper of a salmon troller, a partner in the Fishermen Direct Seafood market and a member of the federal panel that sets ocean salmon fishing seasons.

But Boley hopes those fish and bar codes tied to their jaws represent a better future for Oregon and California salmon fishermen, who saw their catch cut by nearly 90 percent this summer to protect dwindling returns of wild chinook to California's Klamath River.
