A First Nation in Yukon is celebrating a new chinook salmon management agreement between Canada and the U.S.
I hope this works as intended and the fish stocks can be replenished.
Implementing no fishing zones have shown that at least in seas and oceans, fish stocks and diversity can replenish incredibly fast because they become nurseries. Salmon might be more difficult tho.
Stock is a pretty gross term. They are living beings. I hope that the ocean ecosystems can be repaired, and human corporations never resume pillaging their bodies
Damn, prices of salmon are going to go crazy now and all the salmon lovers are going to lose it. Lol. I don't eat it anyway, but that's good if it's getting endangered.
I love salmon
I also know that conservation is key and if fishing is impacting them, then it's best to go a period without salmon
It only impacts the wild caught industry as well, farm raised salmon will still be readily available. Atlantic salmon has never had a commercial season for wild salmon in my lifetime because we would wipe them out in a single season, so it's not that different from them.
People will just have to become more cognizant of where their fish is coming from. Avoid salmon from inshore farms if you can, the offshore farms are the best quality of life for the fish and have a nice fat content to them for extra flavor due to the better access to food compared to wild fish.
This only applies to one type of salmon (chinook)
I happen to watch Life Below Zero as background noise and other salmon fishing has been banned for a few years. A couple of the cast members used to catch large quantities of fish to feed their sled dogs.
I've always bought huge salmon fillets at Costco and chopped them up into maybe eight servings. It was always worth it. But just over the course of a year they've risen from around $25 per fillet to $40. I've told salmon to go ahead and go fuck itself.
😂 That made me lol. But yeah, my wife loves salmon (I don't even get close to it) and man it went up big time.
Salmon is already expensive as hell a small piece the size of my hand is freaking $14
Oh wow. I can buy 600g piece for £11.50.
It's better to have expensive salmon now because we can only harvest so many, than to have expensive salmon in 10 years because there are hardly any left.
Good because it needs to get way more expensive. Salmon can still feel pain even if they cannot scream.
I'm a Canadian who eats wild caught often. I'm gonna lose it!
Yeah, the price seems double what it was in 2021.
Read the title, thought "oh, the first nations folks are gonna be PISSED" and was pleased to find out it was their idea.
Great!
The bears will be sad.
Only the bears should be allowed to fish. Humans can do better.
As a vegan I support this!
