Overcrowded Oceans a Threat to Wild Salmon
« on: October 04, 2010, 05:14:02 PM »
A very interesting article in Vancouver Sun from result of a research by the BC and WA State scientists.

Unless international agreements are developed to manage production levels, hatchery fish may dominate the ocean.

Even though the total number of wild pink, chum and sockeye salmon in the North Pacific is at a historic high, the population in areas such as B.C.’s Fraser River remains of concern


Well worth the read...
