The Creation Of The Salmon: A Short Story

The salmon migration, commonly referred to as the “Salmon Run,” is a natural occurrence that happens only once a year. Oncorhynchus, also known as Pacific Salmon, are the most common type of salmon on the planet. Pacific Salmon are better known under the following five species groups: Sockeye, Pink, Coho, Chum, and Chinook. Salmon are known for their amazing flavor and tender meat which is commonly found in most fish markets around the United States. What people do not realize, is the amazing journey that these fish take every year to reproduce in order to spawn a new generation of salmon. Jumping upstream, fighting off predators, and traveling over one thousand miles, these salmon travel back into the mainland streams where they themselves were born in order to produce their own spawn. This makes the salmon run the greatest migration of any animal on the planet.

This is a paper about the book Finding Fish: A Memoir, which was written by Antwone Fisher. By necessity given the nature of the book, the main character will be examined at length. Through careful examination of the main character a deeper understanding of the book can be reached. After the examination, a number of theoretical perspectives will be applied to the main character, as well as an explanation of how these perspectives can be used to evaluate Antwone in order to understand him better. The perspectives that will be used will be the strengths, systems, conflict, humanistic, and psychodynamic perspectives. Following the connection of the perspectives to Antwone, an explanation of why social workers use theories and

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

In the California Central Valley, fall‐run juvenile Chinook salmon rear typically from January to June. However, in some years, the rearing period may be reduced due to high water temperatures in April. Growth and survival rates of juvenile Chinook salmon are affected by water temperature and cover (e.g., substrate pore spaces, gravel interstices, boulders, snags, over‐hanging vegetation, root wads, under‐cut banks, and macrophytes). Cover is important for protection from predation, flow displacement, water temperature stress, and the fish caloric intake optimization. Human-induced sources of stress to the riverine ecosystems include: “(1) overfishing (i.e., extracting larger quantities of fish than the system can sustain naturally); (2) nutrient

In recent years Pacific salmon have felt the true burdens of the aquaculture productions of farmed salmon in the natural rivers that have hosted these salmon for centuries. Salmon farming has been on the rise since the early 1990s and over these twenty-five years, it has put an immense amount of pressure on the wild salmon population and their ability to spawn. These negative impacts can be directly link to numerous problems with farmed salmon, which includes the pollution and contamination they produce to nearby water sources. Next, is the dilemma that farmed Salmon have is the negative affect they have on migrating wild Salmon. Their interaction can causes diseases to spread to wild pacific salmon while they swim close to the farms during their seasonal runs. Another major concern with disturbance is the interbreeding between farmed salmon and wild salmon. The final problem, is the health risks that are associated with consuming higher concentrations of possible toxic and carcinogenic contaminant often found in farmed salmon meat. The act of raising salmon in a aquaculture environment can be detrimental to the ecosystem and humans of BC, because of the pollution, contamination, disturbance farmed salmon have on wild salmon and more importantly, the health risks aquaculture has on humans.

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.

The black bear scooping a fine piece of salmon out of a running creek demonstrates the food chain at its finest. As the pink salmon pushed its way up the powerful current of the stream he had no idea that in one moment his life would be over. He would be lying in the stomach of a hungry black bear. Right as the pink salmon was about to reach the downhill of the stream his gills and fins were snatched by the sharp claws of what seemed to be the hungry black bear. Before the little pink salmon could escape, he was already between the bears large jaws. He was being chewed up into small puzzle like pieces. The pink salmon’s day and time had now come to an end as he had settled into the stomach of the black bear. The pink salmon was now a victim

Salmon is Everything has showed me that the arts can be an effective means of communicating with the public as well as helping to open the minds of the parties involved in these management decisions. The arts can also have a down side if people take it too literally. Most plays and books are works of fiction. This could lead to some confusion of the issue as well as some wish full thinking. The use of that arts can be a grate tool to help educate the masses and bring people together to compromise, but I feel that there are some ways in which it can hinder the process.

Many steps are being taken to help the salmon population. A couple of things humans are doing to help them is restoring streams and removing dams. Dams disrupt the spawn areas for salmon. When dams are destroyed it allows the rivers to run free and for the salmon to travel to the sea without having to worry about surviving through the dams. Humans are also restoring streams by adding trees and rock to them. They trying to restore the streams to their original natural state before the streams where straightened in the 1940s and 1950s. This type of original curving stream is the type of ecosystem that salmon would go to spawn in. Humans could be less disruptive to the salmon population. We could find better ways to power electricity, to water

Sockeye Salmon numbers going down by the thousands due to warm rivers. The snake and Columbia river's temperatures killed all but a few dozen of the 4,000 adult endangered sockeye.

The graphics illustrate salmon’s life cycle. Overall, the life span of salmon is approximately ten years, which include three major phase during their lives, called, fry, smolt and adult salmon, respectively.

Salmon artificial selection would be beneficial because we will get bigger Salmon.Their explanation is logical because if we get bigger Salmon we can feed more people,but at the same time if something goes wrong then we can make too big salmon and we wouldn’t know how to reverse it and who knows what will happen.So i am in the middle for this Explanation.

The setting is one of the most important elements in a story. A setting is where and when the story takes place.  The setting affects the story’s atmosphere, mood and everything the characters say and do.  Characters respond to and interact with the setting of the story. The setting can also dictate what kind of conflict the characters may have in the story and how it will be resolved.

When Elizabeth Bishop writes a poem of someone’s experience catching a fish, the person catching the fish, presumed as the narrator, describes the fish’s intricate details which essentially gives it an ugly appearance. In an explication of “The Fish,” the analyzer also notes how the narrator’s descriptions yield an ugly appearance of the fish, but with further observation, the narrator realizes the beauty deep within the fish and the fact that the fish is a warrior. The ugly description of the outside of the fish correlates with how some people tend to make a quick judgment based on someone’s appearance without taking the time to think about what their personality or characteristics include. Or even to think about what that person has been through that has caused them to look that way. Evidently, as the poem continues, the narrator reveals that the fish has been through at least five battles, according to the physical scars left in its jaw. The fish, a symbol for anyone who has dealt with difficulties during their life, will persevere even while the outside world continues its routine.

When Elizabeth Bishop writes of her experience catching a fish, she describes its intricate details, essentially producing an ugly appearance of the fish. However, as her description continues, she ponders the beauty of the fish on the inside. This correlates with how people tend to make a quick judgment based on someone’s appearance without taking the time to think about what their personality or characteristics include.
