Mr. Salmon's Case Study

The film Salmon confidential had initially been released on October 2nd, 2013; Since then, the status of British Columbia fish farming may just have a promising future. For too long has the fish farming industry in British Columbia gotten away with destroying the population of wild salmon. Despite this, recently the fish farming industry has been running into problems that threaten the survival of their industry in British Columbia. Currently, there are 130 floating fish farms in British Columbia, all of these fish farms have been infected with contagious diseases that are spreading to other wild salmon that travel in these areas. The companies in change of the fish farming have been trying to hide the fact that their farms have caused a major

For over one hundred years the salmon population in the Columbia Basin has been drastically decreasing, due to overfishing and man made obstacles. The Columbia Basin Fish Accords have given a one billion dollar grant to tribes and states for habitat restoration projects. However, the conflict still rages between the native tribes of the area, and the federal government whose roadblocks such as dams prohibit the free flowing rivers that bring salmon back to the spawning grounds. The effort to keep salmon coming back up the river while keeping the dams intact is the struggle that the federal grant hopes to solve.

The United States and Canada formed the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) and in 2012 the United States, contributed $ 95,000.00 to this endeavor. While it does not specify the percentage of the U.S. budget the U.S. is involved in quite a few other aquic areas. Another, Salmon related budgeting set aside is with the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Commission (NASCC). The percentage is 5% to the toon of $45859.00 laid out in 2012. Both cases of these commissions are to conserve the production of the species. While, the PSC pact between the U.S. and Canada insures an equal opportunity for both countries investments in the harvesting, the NASCC consist on a broader rage with multiple countries. The PSC does not itself regulate the salmon fisheries they do give advisement and recommendations to both

Commercial fishing boats are pushing to catch as many Atlantic salmon as they can after a net pen broke near Washington's Cypress Island. Fishermen reported thousands of the non-native fish jumping in the water or washing ashore. The pen, in the state's northwestern San Juan Islands, contained about 305,000 Atlantic salmon. Environmentalists are concerned that the escaped Atlantic salmon could potentially mate and crossbreed with the Pacific salmon or compete with them for food but they are not completely sure what the ramifications will be. Now, owner Cooke Aquaculture and the Washington department of fish and wildlife are trying to determine how many escaped. The director of the wild fish conservancy northwest, Kurt Beardslee , called the

Navigating the World’s oceans is a difficult task, finding a small place where you were born two years earlier without any navigational tools at all is impossible for most. Pink Salmon are an incredible species capable of this and so much more, but now they are faced with their greatest challenge to date. Pink salmon must somehow survive the changing chemistry due to climate change that is altering their environment, and poses the greatest risk the species will likely ever face.

The King Salmon or Chinook Salmon is the state fish of Alaska and is the biggest salmon in the world.Since it is the largest salmon in the world people call it the “king” salmon. King Salmon have a blueish-green back with silvery sides and a white belly and black spots on the back and tail.The King Salmon or the Chinook Salmon can grow up to 2-5 feet long and 40 pounds. The King Salmon has a short lifespan which is usually 3-7 years. King Salmon are anadromous, which means they spawn one in their life and die.

Does any where in the world include California and the American West? If so, I thought this story idea

For our groups visual communication strategy we chose to create a children's picture book. Our book will target elementary school children in the North Vancouver Area, specifically between the ages six to ten years of age. Our group would start by targeting one or two elementary schools in North Vancouver as they are located near the Capilano Salmon Hatchery. The location increases the relevance and connectivity of our specific topic to the kids and their parents. Our book will focus on communicating the negative impacts that both climate change and humans have on our local salmon population, through the primary use of illustrations and short “kid-friendly” dialogue. Our report will delve deeper into the science and details of the causes, impacts, vulnerabilities and possible solutions that both local people, and larger forces (ex.government, or NGO’S) can take in order to protect Vancouvers salmon stock.

Ten juveniles were caged in different locations across three years and their length and weight recorded every week. The premise of this approach was that the muscle 13C would provide information about the source of carbon fueling the juvenile Chinook salmon muscle growth if they remained in each site long enough to reflect local food sources rather than hatchery fish feed products. As Chinook salmon are anadromous fish, the carbon isotope ratios of juvenile muscle tissues are influenced by maternal sources enriched in marine-based isotopes ratios relative to most freshwater energy sources (Doucett et al. 1999). Differences in salmonid allochthony among locations and years may have resulted from differences in age of the fish used in the experiment. These differences in

During the last two decades Marine farming of Atlantic salmon has become an important food-producing industry. There has been a rapid growth in the development of this industry but simultaneously facing major health issues in fish. Usage of vaccination can controls many of the most important bacterial diseases but viral diseases have been more difficult to control. This is because the Atlantic salmon are more prone to viral diseases at the early stage of their life.(Rimstad, E., & Mjaaland, S. (April 01, 2002).) Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) is a major disease of Atlantic salmon,caused by an orthomyxovirus (ISAV). Outbreaks of unexplained mortalities attributed to infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) were examined in the 1996 year class of Atlantic

In the research performed by Morgan Hocking, Nicholas Dulvy, John Reynolds, Richard Ring, and Thomas Reimchen, as described in their article ‘Salmon subsidize an escape from a size spectrum’, several interesting discoveries were made. The main purpose of their research was to determine how the energy generated from salmon carcasses could affect the size spectra of terrestrial communities. Based off of the fact that salmon are a keystone species, Hocking et al. were able to create three hypotheses. The first of these hypotheses was that ‘the temperate forest soil communities would be size structured,’ meaning that the structure of the ecosystem in this temperate rainforest is dependent on the size of the organisms living within it (Hocking et al., 2013). The second hypothesis states that ‘nutrients from the salmon that enter the bottom of the food web would increase abundance across all size classes… and that these increases in abundance

This article took a very extensive and narrow look at the peril of wild caught salmon versus farmed salmon. The detail heavy paper was well thought out as the author pointed out the issues but then provided ways to fix these issues. The marketing of quality over quantity for the wild salmon fisheries of Bristol Bay has been at the forefront of changing sustainability issues for a declining salmon population (Hébert 2010). The rise in fish prices could be seen as a direct reflection of tapping into a quality market by wild salmon fisheries. Farmed salmon is a lower quality therefore they make up for quality in quantity, however the influx of farmed salmon did effect the market price for fish, so the wild salmon fisheries had to come up with

Just like us Salmon start out small, born in gravel nests at the bottom of streams and river beds in the form of an egg. A female salmon usually lays about 3000 eggs at a time. The male is there to protect the eggs until the female salmon dies. The eggs are a pink translucent color. Hatching of the eggs could take up to 4 months. While in the shell of the egg the salmons organs can be seen developing.

Don't you just wish life remained as simple as it was, when you only have a choice of fish, instead of a choice between wild and farmed salmon? But life changed and so are your options. So the next best solution is to understand your choices.
