    Adios El Nino

    DateThursday, August 26, 2010 at 7:07AM

    This spring El Niño conditions have weakened gradually after a winter of mild sea surface temperatures, now scientists at the National Weather Service have announced that the Pacific has officially entered La Niña conditions.

    The last two occurances of La Niña conditions have coincided with record breaking returns of both salmon and steelhead in watersheds from Oregon to Vancouver Island.

    Scientists one step closer to fully sequencing the salmon genome

    DateTuesday, June 22, 2010 at 12:00AM

    I wonder what kind of new frankenfish the aquaculture industry will be able to develop once they have the keys to the entire salmonid genetic code.  

    Genome BC partnered with the Chilean Economic Development Agency, InnovaChile, Norwegian Research Council, Norwegian Fishery and Aquaculture Industry Research Fund to form the International Cooperation to Sequence the Atlantic Salmon Genome (the Cooperation).

    "It was the perfect storm of conditions for fish"

    DateWednesday, January 27, 2010 at 12:01AM

    The Wall Street Journal takes a stab at understanding our finned friends in the Pacific.

    "The main reason for the population surge, scientists here say, is a brief period of cooling in the Northern Pacific ocean in 2008. Cooler currents brought in fatter plankton, which salmon and steelhead smolts thrive on, said ODFW spokesman Rick Swart. Temperatures have since warmed up again."
