The youn^ pink and fchum salmon are qply an inch |ong, and do not yef have scajes |o protect them from parasites, tie said. r Ransom Myers, a professor pf biology at Dalhousie Univer sity in Nova Scotia, who was not part of the study, said it was the most comprehensive to date on the issue and hoped it would bush the Canadian government j;o take action to protect wild palmon. I Andrew Thomson,, acting bead of aquaculture for Fisher ies and Oceans Canada’s Pacific region, said the agency had yet to review the study, but Was pionitoring sea lice infestations p f wild salmon, doing its Own research, and was committed to protecting wild salmon. “What we’re seeing is infec tion rates of sea lice vary year by year, and populations o f pink salmon show fluctuations year by year,” he said. “It’s a complex issue. We need to do more research on it.” Marine Harvest, which owns many* of the 30 salmon farms in the archipelago, did not re turn a telephone call to its Campbell River, B.C. office for comment.

There are nine salmon farms in the XJ.S. — six in Maine, two in Washington and one in Ten nessee. Concerned about the impacts of hundreds of thousands of salmon crowded into net pens | floating in coastal fiords down which baby salmon migrate, en vironmental groups have cam paigned to convince consumers to boycott farmed fish. Alexandra Morton, a biolo gist frpm Broughton A rchi pelago who tpok part in the study and is founder of the Raincoast Research Society, said she started looking into the is sue in 2001 when a fisherman brought her a wild salmon cov ered with sea lice and asked her whether salmon farms were the reason. . “Every time one of us pub lishes on this issue, the Canadian government finds a little loop hole and runs with it,”" she said. “First they said maybe it’s not Toys-Tools-Housewares-Clothing-Crafts-Gifts- Your Bargain Connection 71 7 SW 5 th Open Monday-Sat 9 : 00 - 6 :0 0 St. M ad ras O r A SS O R T E D STYLES T O U R .

When we nailed that one down they said maybe they don’t kill to affect the population. “This nails that final loophole dowfi.” \ The study examined 17,000 fish, which were netted at regu lar intervals along three differ ent migration routes over the course of two years. Mortality rates at various points in the migration season ranged from 9 percent to 95 percent. The study found1 fish died sifter being infected with as few that the more louse on the fishriiéfraòre likely it was to die, and that the more salmon farms along the migration route, the more likely the fish were to die. The highest mortality rate, 95 percent, came in the chan nel with three salmon farms at the end of the migration season, when sea lice were most preva lent. The other two channels had two farms. “The basic physics says this result should not be surprising,” said Neil Frazer, a professor of physics at the U niversity o f H awaii who worked on the m athem atical m odeling that went into the study. ■! “When you put a bunch of farmed fish into a system of wild fish and parasites, you automati cally are going to greatly increase the number of parasites, because you now have a much better chance of finding a host.” New Shipment of Embroidered Caps Toys-Tools-Housewares-Clothing-Crafts-Gifts- Book finds great success f l y D a ve M cM ech a n fipilyay Tymoo Page 5 October 12, 2 0 0 6 Toys-Tools-Housewares-Clothing-Crafts-Gifts- IV Madras Hlah School Football 2006 9/15 Home vs Sisters 9/22 at The Dalles 9/29 Home vs. Bend 10/6 at Summit 10/T3 Home vs. Hermiston (Homecoming) 10/20 at Mt View 10/27 at Pendleton 11/3 Home vs Crook County all Friday Night Home Gam es start at 7pm 0 k ßWimeat FamilVi mm E ö jo , Powwow set for Thanksgiving The Thanksgiving, Mini Powwow, will be next month on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 22-23, at the Warm Springs Community Center.
