Ever wonder where the salmon migrate? The salmon go through a lot of obstacles just to get to their destination. Salmon can live up to two to seven years. the Washington state has announced that the salmon are listed as threatened or endangered fish. In the salmon family there are eight species of salmon that grow in the Washington State (Chinook, Coho, Chum, Pink, Steelhead, Sockeye, Bull Trout, and Cutthroat.) and there are five that grow in the Pacific (Chinook, Chum, Coho, Pink, and Sockeye)

Comparison of RVC and roving diver methods for surveying fish in the Florida Keys Author: D. Via Introduction: There are different methods of fish surveys, one is not necessarily better than the other. There are different advantages and disadvantages to each method, which one depends on the objectives of the survey. Choosing a method can often a compromise the biases of each technique, time that is available, manpower, and information being looked for. Thus, a survey method for a long-term monitoring

Perceptions of the lands and waters of the Klamath are rooted in cultural memory and the collective identity of community (Smith 1997). These shared histories and identities have the potential to serve as a unifying force within some communities, particularly when a group is marginalized or alienated from their land and livelihoods (Horangic, Berry and Wall 2016; Kosek 2006). Tribes in both the upper and lower basin have been alienated from subsistence and commercial salmon fishing because of the

Feeding your Cichlids the right kind of food is very important if you want them to be as healthy as possible and to show their naturally brilliant colors. Often times, if not almost exclusively, Cichlids' color appears washed out because of a poor or incorrect diet. Not all fish foods are created equally, and therefore, it becomes necessary to use discretion when selecting the food you will feed them. You want to avoid foods that have any mammalian fat, and those containing high amounts of protein

Cause: Algae is growing in the pond because the nutrients produced by fish are absorbed by the algae, permitting it's growth. Solution: To remove the algae, there must be organisms that will absorb the nutrients produced by fish put into the pond. This is so there will be no nutrients left for the algae to feed off of, thus eventually eliminating the algae from the pond. The plants that could be put into the pond would be water lillies and lotuses. Hypothesis: If plants are put into the pond, then

Consider the potential for complexity of salinity and circulation within an estuarine system, a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water that has freshwater input by rivers and salt water input by marine processes. The circulation of an estuary can vary substantially across a range of time scales such as daily, seasonally, or annually. Changes in freshwater input during periods of heavy rain, fluctuations in tides, or changes in the direction that the wind is blowing can all contribute toward

Importance: "Electrofishing...has been a valuable sampling technique...for over half a century but there has been increasing concern among fishery biologists and managers regarding its potential for harming fish." (Snyder 2003). Electrofishing can be used manually or from a boat, and it uses a combination of a power device, transformer and electrodes. The power device creates a current and the transformer and the electrodes control that current in a fixated spot in the water. The current is fixated

Salmon 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

Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are organisms that have been processed with recombinant DNA technology, which involves the transfer of genetic material from one organism to another. The recombined DNA material can be incorporated into the target organism either indirectly through a vector system or directly through injection techniques. The transferred gene is surrounded by activators, gene sequences that control the expression of the gene. The key of genetic engineering is to accurately control

Salmon, a light pink colored delicacy which is supposed to be healthy for you. But is it really that healthy and good for the environment?These intrepid creatures swim against the currents of fury or they are packed into a small contaminated pond full of chemicals. This fish is over consumed by the world’s population. The chemicals in which farm raised salmon are grown in can cause the salmon to get sick, which then leads to the human to get sick too.Also the salmon production process is an environmental
