Over the past few weeks, we’ve made incredible strides and progress on a variety of our science, education, and advocacy initiatives being covered in local and international news. With too frequent doom-inspiring news stories dominating the news, we’re excited to share some good news for wild salmon recovery!
Wild Fish Conservancy published a new study in Fisheries Research further confirming the critical role commercial fish traps can play in recovering wild salmon and steelhead, improving fisheries management, and providing new sustainable fishing opportunities for coastal fishing communities.
Through the wind, rain and the beautiful early fall days, Wild Fish Conservancy and commercial fishing partner Billie Delaney continue to operate the new experimental
A new publication co-authored by WFC’s Adrian Tuohy suggests that a return to historical Indigenous fishing practices and systems of salmon management may be key to revitalizing struggling Pacific Salmon fisheries across the North Pacific.
How is ISAv detected? There are 3 common tests (“assays”) for ISAv: The classic test is cell culture; salmon cells are grown in the laboratory
A groundbreaking new published paper by Wild Fish Conservancy demonstrated survival of salmon and steelhead released from an experimental fish trap on the Columbia River was far higher than rates for any previously tested commercial fishing gears on the Columbia River.
A paper by Wild Fish Conservancy’s Dr. Nick Gayeski proposing a forward-looking, sustainable management approach to global salmon fisheries was published in Fisheries journal.
In a newly published paper, scientists form WFC, Raincoast Conservation Foundation, and the University of Montana propose an alternative ‘place-based’ framework for certifying wild salmon that recognizes the ecological connection between wild salmon and the natal watersheds to which they are locally adapted.
WFC restates concern and findings of an exotic virus found in escaped farmed Atlantic salmon in Puget Sound after WA Fish and Wildlife attempted to mischaracterized and downplay the virus they failed to detect.
ndependent lab results demonstrate that 100% of escaped Atlantic salmon tested were highly infected with Piscine Orthoreovirus (PRV), and that the strain of the virus is of Norwegian origin.
