Study discovers hatcheries
bait for salmon extinction
■ WILDLIFE: Long-term
effects of unnaturally
spawned fish takes its toll
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Emphasis on raising salmon in
hatcheries, om.t! thought the kev
to their survival, is helping push
many naturally spawning salmon
species to the brink of extinction
in the Pacific Northwest, the
National Research Council said
Wednesday.
"It isn't enough to focus only
on the abundance of salmon.
The long-term survival of
salmon depends cru« tally on a
diverse and rich store of genotii
variation." the council said in a
new report. "We have already
lost a substantial portion of tfie
genetic diversity that existed in
these salmon species 150 years
ago."
The report concludes that sav
ing wild salmon will require a
wide variety of costly measures
addressing their entire migrato
ry life cycle, from cutbacks in
ocean fishing as far away as
Alaska to laws prohibiting log
ging and livestoc k grazing near
inland mountain streams.
