Sockeye Secret

Salmon stocks, particularly Sockeye salmon stocks, are crashing and scientific research and study is required to understand why and to take effective steps forward to manage and rehabilitate stocks. One river in BC, the Harrison has seen record returns of Sockeye and this is a bit of a mystery. One possibility is that these sockeye do not pass by the salmon farms along the BC coast and this may save them from wild lice infestation and mortalities. The reason is unclear, but more needs to be done to understand the reason and to protect and rebuild our salmon stocks. Video is from Global TV BC.
