eDNA survey of the Winter Salmonosphere in the Gulf of Alaska - “seeing” all the species we don’t normally see. Salmon competitors and predators abound. Work lead by Christoph Deeg with Year of the Salmon - North Pacific DFO Pacific PACIFIC SALMON FOUNDATION onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

As the International Year of the Salmon wraps up, we've made some changes to our website 🐟 But don't worry - all your favorite content is still available! Visit yearofthesalmon.org to access all of our archives 💙

'The coalition says Pacific #salmon populations have declined by more than 90% since the 1970s and warns that if the stock collapses, other species - like southern resident killer whales, whose diet is primarily salmon - are also at risk of extinction'🐟🐋

Double Chum salmon!
Just a few minutes old.
Thanks Mossom Creek Hatchery

We are VERY EXCITED to show you a sneak peak of our new 2022 Pan-Pacific Winter High Seas Expedition Video.... 👀⛴️🐟 #IYS2022Expedition

With Earth's oceans and its cryosphere rapidly changing, how will we be able to better predict fish production in the North Pacific? 🐟🌎🌊 Read more about how we might be able to bridge some critical knowledge gaps:

Having laid her eggs in a ‘redd’ (or nest) in the bed of the river, a female Atlantic salmon uses her tail to covers them with gravel. Here they will incubate through the winter period 🙂

Coho spawning on #stoneycreek

Side channels in action on the Snoqualmie River.

Crews removed 1,400 ft of the left-bank Barfuse levee, excavated side channels and inlets, and placed wood structures throughout the floodplain. The new side channels will reduce flood risk and provide habitat for young salmon.

These images, captured from NOAA's View Global Data Explorer, show us some dramatic warming patterns in the North Pacific Ocean 🌊🔥 Climate models are tools that can help us better understand and predict changes to our climate and fisheries 🐟

The Coldwater, one of B.C.'s most important #salmon rivers, was blocked when the floods threw logs and sediment across the waterway 🌲 recovery efforts have now cleared the way for 2,000 coho to swim upstream to their spawning grounds 💙🐟
