the DANGERS of Underwater Factory Farming... " Salmon
are the vehicle by which the biological riches of the North Pacific are
spread to the land. Swimming inland, often hundreds of miles, to spawn and
die, their decomposing bodies provide the nutrients that nourish stands of
millennial Sitka spruce, red cedar, and Douglas fir (trees along salmon
streams grow three times as fast as their inland counterparts). The entire
food chain depends on these fish: Salmon provide 90 percent of the nitrogen
in Alaskan brown bears' diets, and even deer gnaw on their spawned-out
carcasses. As long-term strategies go, killing off the wild salmon of the
Pacific Northwest is about as forward-thinking as deliberately infecting the
goose that laid the golden egg with avian flu. The provincial government
considers wild salmon, and independent fishermen, an impediment to
development. A farsighted government bent on resource extraction might adopt
a long-term strategy that favors policies that promote salmon aquaculture, to
the detriment of the wild stocks."
