Salmon in the Can		27 Aug 2002	Daily Grist
Read more about: fishing Salmon in the Can Over the past two decades, U.S. federal agencies have pumped $3.3 billion into recovery efforts for endangered salmon in the Pacific Northwest -- but there is no evidence that the money has paid off, according to a report issued yesterday by the U.S. General Accounting Office. The report is the government's first comprehensive assessment of salmon recovery costs and outcomes, and it reaches a conclusion that has been suspected by critics for years: Fede ...

Tipping the Scales		02 Aug 2002	Daily Grist
Tipping the Scales A government-commissioned study has concluded that escapes from fish farms in Scotland pose a "major threat" to the nation's wild fish population. According to Friends of the Earth, about 1 million salmon have escaped from Scottish fish farms in the last five years. If just 1 percent of the farmed population escapes each year, the government report says, wild stocks will suffer severe losses in g ...

Born to Be Wild		25 Jul 2002	Daily Grist
Born to Be Wild In a blow to property-rights advocates, the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service said yesterday that wild salmon should continue to be protected under the Endangered Species Act even though hatchery-born salmon are thriving. Last year, in a lawsuit brought by opponents of salmon protection, a federal judge told the agency to go back to the drawing board because ...

Prawn But Not Forgotten On the Mexican coast, little shrimp are causing big trouble	Michelle Nijhuis	18 Jul 2002	Main Dish
Just above the high-tide mark on the coast of northern Mexico, elegant fingers of pitaya cacti rise far above the surrounding mesquite trees. Roseate spoonbills and frigatebirds sail silently overhead, a dolphin skirts the tangle of mangroves near the shore, and a fishing boat sputters out to the Sea of Cortez. On this muggy, almost unbearably hot slice of Sonoran coastline, sunset ...

Salmon Chanted Evening		03 May 2002	Daily Grist
Salmon Chanted Evening The future of salmon in the Pacific Northwest is being jeopardized by foot-dragging on the part of the federal government, said Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) in a speech Tuesday evening. In December 2000, the National Marine Fisheries Service decided against aiding salmon populations by breaching dams on the lower Snake River; instead, the agency called for restoring streams w ...

I'm Too Sexy for My Gills		29 Apr 2002	Daily Grist
I'm Too Sexy for My Gills Meanwhile, in other news about fish, a transgenic version of the North Atlantic salmon is the first genetically engineered animal up for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as food. The fish looks more or less like its natural cousin, but it grows seven times faster and is, we kid you not, sexier (if you're a salmon of the opposite sex, that is). Scientists achieved those characteristics by includ ...

No Farm, No Foul On farmed fish	Umbra Fisk	23 Apr 2002	Ask Umbra
I have a friend who is a homeopathic. She told me that I should stop eating pen-raised salmon because they are fed a lot of antibiotics.

The changes, which are part of a series of recent moves that could weaken habitat and ...

Go Fish!		08 Jan 2002	Daily Grist
Go Fish! Maine's wild Atlantic salmon remain genetically distinct despite more than a century of fish-stocking, aquaculture escapes, and other threats to the species, according to an independent report prepared by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. The report undermines the claim by Maine Gov. Angus King (I) and others that Maine salmon were genetically diluted and therefore did not merit protection ...

Court Ruling Puts All Salmon Protections at Risk		14 Sep 2001	Daily Grist
Court Ruling Puts All Salmon Protections at Risk In a decision that could undermine protections for salmon throughout the West, U.S. District Judge Michael Hogan on Wednesday ordered that Oregon coastal coho salmon no longer be listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Hogan said federal biologists were wrong to count only wild fish and not the more numerous hatchery-born coho when it decided ...

Slammin' Salmon Tens of thousands of Atlantic salmon have escaped from British Columbia fish farms into 77 of the province's waterways, according to a new report by the Canadian Parliament's Senate Committee on Fisheries. The aquaculture industry had dismissed concerns that farm-raised Atlantic salmon would ever escape and be able to survive in the wild, posing a threat to native Pacific salmon. But the new report says the esc ...

Dam! An Agency Breaches the Public Trust Why hasn't the National Marine Fisheries Service called for the removal of the lower Snake River dams?	Rob Masonis	13 Dec 2000	Soapbox
Passions run high in the Pacific Northwest over whether to remove four large federal dams on the lower Snake River to recover the river's imperiled wild salmon and steelhead (a.k.a. sea-run rainbow trout). The Snake once produced more salmon and steelhead than any other river in the vast Columbia River basin -- over 2 million f ...

The Coast Is Clear -- of Salmon Atlantic salmon are even worse off than their Pacific cousins	Wayne Curtis	12 Apr 2000	Main Dish
To catch an Atlantic salmon in the Machias River back in the 1940s -- and we're talking a legitimate salmon here, maybe 30 or 40 pounds -- didn't require a knack with rod and reel, nor even the wily patience of the angler. Mostly what you needed was decent aim with a rifle or pitchfork or jig hook. The mighty Machias. Or for that matter, a good-sized river stone. "I reme ...
