Glacier Retreat and Pacific Salmon. [PDF]
AbstractGlaciers have shaped past and present habitats for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in North America. During the last glacial maximum, approximately 45% of the current North American range of Pacific salmon was covered in ice. Currently, most salmon habitat occurs in watersheds in which glacier ice is present and retreating.

Infectious agent release and Pacific salmon exposure at Atlantic salmon farms revealed by environmental DNA [PDF]
The potential risk posed by infectious agents (IAs) associated with netpen aquaculture to wild fishes is determined based on the “release” of IAs from netpens into the environment, the “exposure” of the wild fish to those released agents, and the ...
