Many Treaties excluded any special rights to fish. Your analogy doesn't really fit.
You could use Caribou or Grizzly bears for your example. See how that works.
Much more importantly....
Are you seriously making an argument that the present harvesting rights are OK because the government might curtail treaty harvest when the animals are declared Endangered?
