Salmon and Steelhead Nursery [EXPLORE] THANKS

The Bonneville Fish Hatchery raise small Salmon and Steelhead in an attempt to preserve conservation of the species.Tens of thousands of fish are raised each year, yet thousands never find their way back to the Columbia River or its tributaries. Farming attempts such as this can create new problems that may effect navigation and other bio senses, but are inherent and stable in wild fish. There are a myriad of factors to consider as to why. Without these farms however, would find the two species in decline, endangered, or lost forever in spontaneous brevity (I shudder to think). To the left, you can see the concrete pens and silos. A delicate balance between man and nature... unfortunate. (3/30/12 #180)
