The court's conclusions substantially reflect the position of the Tribes and of the United States, which the court found to be "overwhelmingly" supported by the historical evidence of the intent of the signatory parties to the Treaties.
They contend that the Tribes' "usual and accustomed" fishing grounds for shellfish are not coextensive with the usual and accustomed grounds for the taking of other fish, the boundaries of which were determined in Washington I. They suggest that the Tribes must establish their usual and accus- tomed grounds for each species of fish.
The Tribes are entitled to harvest shellfish on privately-owned tidelands.

 Hatcheries Thrive on Partnership with Tribes
Quinault NFH Quinault National Fish Hatchery is on the Quinault Indian Reservation, 81 acres on the north bank of Cook Creek, a tributary of the Quinault River.
Quinault hatchery was established in 1964 as part of a conservation partnership between the Service and the Quinault Indian Tribe to restore and enhance depleted salmon and steelhead runs on the reservation and in other areas along the north coast of Washington.
The decline in fish runs proved doubleedged; the Quinault tribe also permitted extensive logging on reservation land, causing a degradation in fish habitat that in turn took a heavy toll on the fish population.

 Boldt Decision
The right to fish, as reserved in the treaties  [**46]  of plaintiff tribes, certainly is the treaty provision most frequently in controversy and litigation involving all of the tribes and numerous of their individual members for many years past.
Failure of a tribe either to maintain its required qualifications or to abide by and adhere to prescribed conditions, when established and not promptly corrected, shall suspend self-regulation by such tribe until such time as all required qualifications and conditions are fully established.
In an extensive report on the Indian Tribes of the Territory of Washington, dated March 4, 1854, George Gibbs had noted that the right of fishery was a subject "concerning which difficulties  [*357]  may arise" and that the Indians would require liberty of motion for the purpose of seeking fish in their proper season.
