Fraser river Sockey numbers

[Blairh]

Just red a report saying that the sockeye run has been reduced by a massive number. Does anyone know more details on this? said the run is down to 1 million from an expected 10.6 million. Here is the article http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCATRE57C4DT20090813?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0 if anyone has more information or any links please post them.

Yes, well it's only a matter of time until the BC government's plan comes to fruition. Eliminate salmon runs, dam the river and sell power to California!

my Dad was just here from the coast and reported the same thing. They don't really know why , warmer water , lice from farms . other theories. Fishing closed again this year for commercial guys
