knuch success since its publica
tion last year.
I When the R iver Ran Wild! In

ervation recently won a book
award from the American As
sociation for State and Local
History.
! The book is also a finalist for
a 2Q06 Oregon Book Award in
the category of Creative Non-
Fiction. The winners o f the
2006 Oregon Book Awards will
be announced at a ceremony at
the Portland Art Museum on
¡Dec. 1.
; Evaline Patt of the Museum

When the River Ran Wild! lo t the
book award from the American
Association for State and Local
Jones and other staff of the
O regon H isto rical Society,
which published the book with
thé University of Washington
Press.
The 2006 O regon Book
Award nomination is dedicated,
said Aguilar, “To those who
were, to those who are, and to
those who are to come.”
The Orégon Book Awards
are presented b y the Literary
Arts organization^ this .year cel
George Aguilar
ebrating its 20th anniversary.
Aguilar spent about 10 years
History, based in N ashville, researching and writing When the
Tenn. The association, which R iver Ran Wild! He wanted to
began in 1904, is the only na pass on some knowledge to later
tional organization dedicated to generations of the tribes. The
book, though, has been well re
the.field of local history.
Aguilar said he is dedicating ceived by historians, scholars,
the award to the people who and other readers from the pub
assisted him completing When the lic at large. Reviews of the book
R iver Ran W ild! These people have been consistently good to
include author Jarold Ramsey, excellent.

Study says sea lice from salmon
farms are killing wild salmon
j (AP) — A team of Canadian
¡scientists has found the most di
rect evidence yet that baby
Salmon pick up fatal infections
pf sea lice while swimming past
salm on farm s in* B ritish
polum bia’s Broughton Archi
pelago, and that the more
salmon farms the more baby
salmon die.
“Before we knew there were
potential problems,” said; Mar
tin Krkosek, a doctoral student
at the University o f Alberta who
was lead author o f the study
released Monday by the Ameri
can Journal Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences.

said Mark Lewis, University of

senior Canada research-

fchair in mathematical biology,
Svho oversaw the research* .
j But fish farms have changed
that, raising hundreds of thou
sands of adults in floating net
pens anchored year round in the
Channels where the young fish
piigrate. 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.

farm s, that produce about
96,000 tons worth $387 million
each year. About -7O ' percent
goes to the United States. Brit
ish Columbia has about 100
salmon farms, and Broughton
Archipelago about 30.
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.

we nailed that one down, they
said maybe they don’t kill the
fish. 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.”
