The Creation Of The Salmon: A Short Story

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

An endangered species is a species of either plant or animal that is in serious risk of becoming extinct. This name became connected with the Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in 1994 after being petitioned to be put on the list for nine years (NOAA). There are two main reasons behind the endangerment of the Chinook salmon: over exploration, and dams. Since the times of the Native Americans, Chinook salmon have been highly sought after as a food source. Since then the salmon have experienced great amounts of overfishing. Along with water demands which has resulted in overuse of water and diversion of water had affected spawning sites and loss of habitat putting further strain on their habitats (National Wildlife Federation).

For this project, we are researched the salmon trade and how it has evolved over the years. The salmon commodity chain has three main consumers – the United States, Japan, and China. The development of aquaculture has changed our consumption of salmon drastically over the past decades, with Norway leading the aquaculture industry, and Chile fast catching up. Because of differing standards of farming, the quality of cultivated salmon varies; some farms may use chemicals, while others focus on a sustainable farming process focused on longevity of humans, salmon, and the earth. Atlantic salmon used to overflow waters ranging from Quebec to Newfoundland, all the way southwest to Long Island Sound. Come the beginning of the 19th

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

A. Storytellers in educational settings are hired to train teachers, to perform in classrooms and assemblies, to teach families, children and teachers the basic skills of storytelling.

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

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.

In regards to this controversial issue I am leaning to side with AquAdvantage and that their salmon should be allowed to be sold in both U.S. and Canadian markets. The main reasoning is all of the possible benefits from introducing the salmon into the market. According to a full impact study done said;

In the ever-expanding field of aquaculture, the demand and production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has increased substantially, having grown over six-fold in the last two decades worldwide (Howard, 2014; Murray, 2014). Increased emergence of parasitism and disease has met this expansion, particularly in areas where disease-control strategies are not yet locally coordinated (Murray, 2014). Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) have significantly impacted the salmonid farming industry since the 1970s, affecting economic costs and fish welfare, and contributing to secondary parasiticide effects and drug resistance (Costello, 2009; Ljungfeldt et al., 2014; Torrissen et al., 2013). As of 2009, L. salmonis has affected the industry in Norway, Canada, Ireland, Scotland and Chile, whereas in other countries, including New Zealand, it has not yet presented a problem (Costello, 2009). Various treatment, management and prevention strategies have been suggested and implemented in high production areas, which may provide useful models for potential risk of sea lice parasitism in New Zealand.

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.

As sushi becomes more of a popular trend the need for fishing rises. One of the fishes that are affected by this is salmon. In the beginning they were only fished in nature but as globalization continues we developed a new strategy to produce more, farmed fishing. By raising your own salmon you can produce enough for consumer needs and keep the same consistency by feeding them the exact same proportions. The problem with this concept is that we are using cheap foods and chemicals to grow these salmons. Wild salmon tend to be oilier with plenty of omegas 3 and hardly any fat (white stripes) in their meat. They also eat algae and plankton while most farmed salmon are fed corn. Farmed salmon are also injected with artificial omega 3 as these fishes aren't producing as much oil compared to the wild salmon due to their environment.

The decomposition of salmon and other waste products from salmon farming have a wide array of environmental impacts. The effects on the environment are seen through nitrogen and oxygen depletion in the vicinity, remineralization, fish waste, and other waste materials known to thrust the salmon environment into a zone of stress.

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.
