  • The Pacific Salmon Forum PSF - a non-biased scientific body ordered to look into the sea lice issue found that the studies Morton was citing (her own), were incorrect. Co-author Marty Krkosek agreed. Morton and Krkosek were asked to “recalibrate”. She concluded that “the survival of the pink salmon cohort was not statistically different from a reference region without salmon farms.” That’s right – no extinction. Not even a difference.

  • just look up "tribal netting or fisheries embarassment?" on youtube.

  • When it comes to the "overfishing" topic, people dont realize how many first nations people on BC rivers net, slaughter, and ILLEGALLY sell the salmon that they catch. All the blame is on commercial fisheries, but at least they harvest and put onto market, LEGALLY, every fish they catch.

  • Don't eat or buy Alaska wild salmon. Up to 41% of the salmon that Alaska exports has been raised in plastic trays, fed pellets, held in open net pens for up to 12 months, then released into the wild. Alaska farms up to 1.5 billion salmon each year to sustain their fake wild salmon fishery.

  • I took lessons from Alex Morton's writing. I am sure you know her. The US has funded millions to her to discredit farmed salmon and promote wild salmon. aka Alaska salmon. She uses words like "may contribute" as I did in my last post. Problem is.. Many readers will take the comment as fact and not something that could be studied to find the fact. To sound like Morton again. Stop Ranching Alaska and get out. How does it feel?

  • Alaska chinook salmon are on the endangered species list according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game web site. Horrific overharvest in commercial, recreational, and subsistence fisheries, as well as devastating ((hatchery-produced fish, disease, release)) and other man-made factors such as destructive water diversion, may contribute to the decline of the chinook salmon stock.

  • he looks cool though

  • Save the Salmon?

    Make the thieves that netted them for cash save the Salmon. Stop fishing.

    Land Farmers have to reproduce their stock and their crops.

    Commercial fishing has taken a natural resorce without replacing it. Get used to the word GONE.

    It's not the rearing channels at fault it's the take at the mouth of these rearing channels .

    Save the Eagle, Bears, Seals,

    And Man, are all predators to the salmon.

    I save the salmon, I eat Beef, pork, chicken.

    Now get a real JOB.

  • This guys comments about Alaska are absolute bullshit. They enhance their fishery to the tune of almost 2 billion hatchery fish a yeatr. it is not a natural fishery. He is comparing apples to oranges. And by the way those Alaska "hatcheries " bear a remarkable resemblance to fish farms.

  • bimmjim : you hit the nail square on the head. Anyone who paid attention knows that the east coast cod fishery disappeared from years of overfishing. Everytime the DFO tried to close it or lower quotas the local fishermen cried they couldn't survive and government gave in and let them fish. That is the main reason the cod fishery was wiped out and it is the same here. And now with global warming there is a whole new ball game and no money money for scientific research.

  • Historically, it has been over fishing that has done the most damage to the salmon. Stop fishing you idiots.
