...and thanks for all the fish

As of yesterday all salmon fishing has been banned on the West Coast of the US and the US Secretary of Commerce declared it a "fishery disaster" opening up the queue for compensation. Does anyone know the history behind this? Have the commercial fisheries fought quotas and catch reductions in the past leading up to this necessity? If so then there shouldn't be a bloody cent of compensation or aid paid.
