In my state if they catch you putting say pike in a lake where they will overpopulate they will pistol whip you and hang you from a joshua tree in the desert.

When it comes to the tribals overfishing for salmon, I don't want to hear about their rights. They net rivers and streams from bank to bank. Even for them this practice is forbidden. No one stops them. Bears are not a threat to salmon in Washington and Oregon. Disease isn't a consistent threat either. The fact that they breed once then die is a better reason to protect them.
Their main natural predator is overpopulated. We have created that overpopulation. We need to correct it.

Try as we might, we are failing at that.
Boas in Florida....
Zebra mussels in the Great Lakes
Formosa termites in the south
Nutria in Louisiana
Canadian thistle in the Midwest (this is a major problem for farmers in the Midwest)
Alligators in the New York sewers
Lots of invasive and transplanted species in the US

Meh. Let nature take its course.

I'm all in for protecting species. Here in Indiana we've over-protected deer to the point where they get sick and die, and not just one or two. One year they estimated there were thousands that died in the northern part of the state. They are born deformed from lack of enough to eat while being carried.
Man should not muck around in the natural process.
The local natives do not take that much out of the flow. There are many contributing factors.
just a note: There are many business that depend upon the fishing industry. And for some of the native American Indians, this is their sole source of income. I can't think of one that depends on sea lions for a dollar. I don't mean that in a mean way, but it is true.
