As anticipated, 2017 is proving to be a difficult year for BC’s wild
salmon. Pacific Ocean temperatures in 2015 were much warmer than average, attracting competitors and predators from southern waters, and reducing the quantity and quality of prey for salmon.

week on episode 153 of Blue Fish Radio.
